That's why I voted to advance a targeted #COVID19 Relief bill package, focused on addressing some of America’s most urgent healthcare, education, and economic issues. https://t.co/jbpF5Q4JhW https://t.co/BFgSpLWANE — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

It’s so important that we work to provide necessary relief to Americans in order to address the continued impacts of the coronavirus pandemic on businesses, employees, families, and individuals. https://t.co/frrh11Ajra — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I am especially grateful to my colleague, @SenDanSullivan, for his relentless efforts to educate the administration. The Alaska Delegation is committed to helping this vital industry weather the impacts of retaliatory tariffs — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I’m pleased the administration has recognized the importance of a healthy seafood industry to Alaska’s economy by authorizing approximately $530 million for fishermen and the U.S. seafood industry impacted by retaliatory tariffs from foreign governments. https://t.co/fA4cQ1aqI7 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Alaska’s seafood industry is facing numerous challenges because of the ongoing trade dispute and #COVID19. While I’m proud of the funding we secured in the CARES Act to provide direct assistance to fishermen, the reality is fishermen have been hit hard by retaliatory tariffs. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

My hope is that the Senate will have an opportunity to advance this and move to get necessary relief to Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

While the measure is not perfect, there is important support in the bill for things like the PPP (vital to small businesses), as well as support for schools, a vaccine, treatments, and more. There are provisions in this measure that are important, timely, and necessary. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

It’s so important that we work to address the continued impacts of the #COVID19 pandemic on businesses, employees, families & individuals. Tomorrow the Senate is going to have an opportunity to vote on moving forward a targeted coronavirus relief package. https://t.co/AsRtE5bLrI — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The importance of providing access to transitional housing assistance & wraparound services for victims of domestic violence who are experiencing homelessness, especially during the #COVID19 pandemic, cannot be understated. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I applaud the DOJ's @OVWJustice for providing critical funding for the Transitional Housing Assistance Program to the Aleut Community of St. Paul Island Tribal Government & the Sitka Tribe of Alaska, ensuring vulnerable Alaskans have access to vital housing & supportive services. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

U.S. @Surgeon_General Adams added that there should be an effort to ramp up local support for the vaccine through targeted messaging from the sources that each community trusts the most. https://t.co/PrEtYIMI1i — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

In regards to vaccine transparency, witness @NIHDirector Dr. Collins explained that he was aware and sympathetic with Alaska’s particular circumstances. He emphasized that the development of this vaccine, and the effort to gain public trust, must be an all-hands on deck effort. https://t.co/PDPJC7e7o3 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I spoke on the SAVE Act, my legislative effort with @SenatorBraun & @SenatorHassan, which aims to improve public confidence in a potential #COVID19 vaccine by increasing the transparency of the vaccine approval process. https://t.co/j2Z1IFH6yA — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

During the hearing I shared my concern over low vaccination rates in Alaska, the safety of the Alaska Native population, the limited number of healthcare facilities across the state. https://t.co/jZs3thfkLP — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

In light of ongoing efforts to develop a safe and effective vaccine for #COVID19, I took part in a Senate HELP Committee hearing focused on vaccines—ensuring they are safe, effective, and have public confidence. https://t.co/Fxe8b2Bkvw — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

That’s why I joined my Senate colleagues cosponsoring the bipartisan Local News and Emergency Information Act of 2020, legislation that ensures that thousands of small local newspapers, radio, & TV broadcasters can access small business relief via the #PaycheckProtectionProgram. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Alaskans rely heavily on local radio stations for their news, but unfortunately, many are struggling to overcome the impacts of #COVID19. Right now many local newspapers, radio, & TV broadcasters are not eligible for the #PaycheckProtectionProgram. https://t.co/v3sYVy3b4L — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

A big thank you to all the brave firefighters who continue to serve and provide a helping hand on behalf of Alaskans, even during a pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

A great opportunity for undergrads in #Alaska: @NOAA is supporting scholarships of up to $9,500 per year for two years of full-time study. Applications must be submitted by February 1, 2021. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

This is great news for Alaska’s aviation industry. The @FAANews is also investing in the future of aviation workforce through the Aircraft Pilots Workforce Development Grant Program - to help prepare high school students receive training for such careers. — PolitiTweet.org

During fall, everybody has their own traditions. In my family—it’s our annual fall hunt in the Interior and harvesting of the rhubarb. I make rhubarb crisp and batches of rhubarb chutney. What are your fall traditions? https://t.co/xvUYs2HBQ7 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Had a wonderful time on our annual fall duck hunting trip in the Interior. Great to continue this family tradition year after year. https://t.co/v88KekMTLb — PolitiTweet.org

I urge every American to take some time to support one another as we continue to address #COVID19. Take a moment to check-in with your loved ones. Your actions could save a life. For those who need help, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The unfortunate truth is Alaska consistently tops the charts with some of the highest suicide rates in the country. September is #SuicidePreventionAwarenessMonth, a reminder that each & every one of us has a role to play in #suicideprevention. https://t.co/Ote2bM6TzN — PolitiTweet.org

The subsistence way of life not only provides food for entire communities, it is also a corner stone of their Alaska Native culture. Congratulations to 16-year-old Jenilee Donovan of Utqiaġvik on helping land Utquiagvik’s first bowhead whale of the season. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Even as we move towards renewables, global demand for fossil fuels is expected to continue. So how can we best manage inevitable carbon emissions? ICYMI, former Energy Secretary @ErnestMoniz & I discussed exciting advances in carbon management technology. https://t.co/7zw6VbwgHt — PolitiTweet.org

I visited w/ Alaskans in different ways, whether it was utilizing virtual communication or meeting outside (which I love as an Alaskan). It's important we find ways to come together safely, & in a way that allows for that social aspect that is so important to all of us. — PolitiTweet.org
