Governor of Alaska, 2018–
Approved a 100-member Alaska National Guard response force for Washington in November 2025, of which 25 deployed in May 2026; his communications director said he approved it because he wanted to help the administration "restore public trust" in the capital. In December 2025 he also approved Guard members for administrative and logistical work at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Anchorage, for up to a year.

Sent the Alaska National Guard to Washington
Approved the Secretary of the Army's request to deploy 100 Alaska National Guard personnel to the federal task force in Washington. His office said he approved it "because he wants to help the Trump Administration restore public trust and improve the quality of life in the nation's capital". A federal judge had held such deployments likely unlawful the day before.
