In his statement, Begich included his efforts to keep F-16 fighter jets based at Eielson Air Force Base among his accomplishments in the Senate, as well as work on opening the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska to oil and gas development and improving health care for veterans.
Bullcrap. The credit goes to Brigadier General Mark Kelly who commanded the 354 Fight Wing. It was his insight and selling points the kept the F-16’s at Eielson.
Begich just happened to be at the meeting.
Is that Gabby’s hubby?
