Senator: 28 Year Old Has"Wisdom Beyond His Years" on the Trai

Press Release

Senator Lisa Murkowski today congratulated Dallas Seavey for his impressive repeat performance in winning his 2nd straight Iditarod Sled Dog Race -- and 3rd win in 4 years. Beyond that, today's victory marks the fourth straight win for the Seavey family, and his father Mitch is still on track to be a top finisher, currently placed 2nd.

"I want to congratulate Dallas Seavey on demonstrating a wisdom beyond his years out there on the trail, which surely is something he learned from his father, grandfather and brothers who mush. Having talked with him at many of the ceremonial starts and congratulating him now three times, I'm having a mild case of Dallas Déjà vu.

"Congratulations to Dallas and his team for a remarkable victory and what likely isn't the final chapter in the Seavey family's Iditarod success story."
