Congratulations to Saipan’s own Brian Youn on earning his Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the Georgia Institute of Technology. Brian was among thousands of graduates celebrated at Georgia Tech’s 268th Commencement this May. Georgia Tech is one of the nation’s top public research institutions, and it’s wonderful to see students from the Marianas represented at this level. We’re proud of you, Brian and I know your parents are overjoyed to see you succeed. Your achievement reflects both your hard work and the potential of our islands’ youth.
The last couple of weeks have been a reminder of how quickly weather can change and how important it is to stay prepared. From the recent tropical disturbance to the tsunami alert, we’ve seen just how vital accurate information is in keeping our community safe. On Monday, I had the opportunity to meet with brothers Brandon and Landon Aydlett of the National Weather Service, along with the NOAA Congressional Affairs team, to discuss how NWS supports our region and how we can strengthen that work in Congress.
A few weeks ago, I met with members of the community who have spent years seeking answers about the disappearance of American aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart—particularly the pieces of her story tied to the Marianas.

During our meeting, I committed to supporting efforts to uncover the truth.
