Governor Bill Walker will accompany the President Tomorrow morning from Washington, D.C., to Anchorage, Alaska, on Air Force One.

“My goal is to spend as much time as possible with the President so I can clearly present to him the benefits our great state provides the nation,” Governor Walker said. “I look forward to discussing with President Obama opportunities for the state and federal government to work together to improve Alaska’s economic situation. I also want to thank President Obama for his leadership in permitting Shell’s exploratory drilling activities. It’s an honor to accompany a sitting President to our great state.”
