WASHINGTON - Democrat Mark Begich is Alaska's newest U.S. senator.
Begich, the former Anchorage mayor, was sworn in as a senator this morning, replacing longtime Republican Sen. Ted Stevens. Begich defeated Stevens in November.
Begich's son made national news Monday when he shouted out to President-elect Barack Obama at a chance meeting at the Capitol.
The president-elect walked over to 6-year-old Jacob Begich and asked him, "What's going on, man?"
Mark Begich says that Jacob kept repeating, "I met the president! I met Obama!"
