August this year was a bit different than years past. Typically I'm back in Alaska, traveling for work all over the state. But this year, with #COVID19 and travel limitations, it was very different. https://t.co/7UuA3hydZC — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

In conjunction with #NationalRecoveryMonth, Governor Dunleavy released a proclamation naming September #RecoveryMonth in Alaska. This month and every month, we thank all those who help others to overcome addiction & show continued support to everyone on a road to recovery. https://t.co/pTAckFbZf4 — PolitiTweet.org

Over the past few years Alaska has made progress in providing greater resources for individuals and families facing mental and/or substance use disorders, while also combating the opioid epidemic. However, there is still more work to be done. — PolitiTweet.org

The aviation industry has been hit hard by the economic impacts of the #COVID19 pandemic, which has only emphasized the urgent need for these programs that will support our next generation of aircraft pilots and maintenance technicians. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Over 80% of communities in Alaska are not connected to a road system, making aviation essential. I’m proud to join a bipartisan letter, led by @ChrisVanHollen & @JimInhofe, urging @USDOT & @FAANews to fully implement two aviation workforce grant programs. https://t.co/jcmhSjnBSf — PolitiTweet.org

Pat shared how @UA_System is diligently working to keep students, faculty, & staff safe as classes restart. The University is a vital part of Alaska, & our ongoing success as a state. I look forward to working with Pat in the future & wish her nothing but success in her new role. https://t.co/AsJlIgsIuN — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I had an opportunity to provide Pat with an update about Congressional efforts to support higher learning through the CARES Act. We also discussed the Arctic Energy Office on campus, and efforts underway between UA and the state to identify land for conveyance. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I recently sat down with interim @UA_System President, Pat Pitney. Pat shared with me her vision for UA, and her commitment to helping stabilize the institution and navigate the difficult waters ahead. https://t.co/9eJZf6dStQ — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I thank all of our frontline and essential workers at airports, hospitals, schools, grocery stores, and more – for your dedication and commitment to your fellow Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The State of Alaska continues to require #COVID19 screening & testing for those visiting the state. Last week I spoke with the Fairbanks airport’s COVID-19 testing facilities District Manager Amanda Johnson about the status of their current operations. https://t.co/8OaQxnvkLr — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Our Alaska Census response numbers are low so please help us ensure the @uscensusbureau has a full and accurate #2020Census. We have less than one month to make sure #AlaskaCounts. Visit https://t.co/34zDrx9NMt for more information or to begin filling out the form. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The Alaska Delegation cannot stress enough the importance of participating in the #2020Census. What takes just ten minutes to complete, has impacts to our state that last for the next 10 years. #AlaskaCounts https://t.co/7aNGjXYtot — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I appreciate these Alaskans for taking the time to meet with me. These are important conversations to have – they will help me as I continue to support Alaskan businesses & work to get our economy back on track. https://t.co/3OZ3KXRm1s — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Last week in Fairbanks, I sat down with @ExplorFairbanks and members of the local tourism industry to hear about the economic and funding obstacles they face, and what it will take to get this very important industry back on track. https://t.co/BRMw8ojAB2 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Right now, @CCHRC_Alaska is designing and building homes that use 80% less energy than comparable homes currently being built. This partnership with the @NREL will help foster innovation in making homes more cost-effective and efficient. https://t.co/q0cbq1Jiqo — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I had the opportunity to visit @CCHRC_Alaska in Fairbanks, which is at the forefront of improving energy efficiency throughout the state, to discuss their collaboration with the Department of @Energy’s @NREL to further their energy research and development efforts. https://t.co/uRMiFyQpmp — PolitiTweet.org

Congrats to Superintendent Ty Mase of Lake & Peninsula School District on being named Alaska 2021 Superintendent of the Year by the Alaska Superintendents Association. I commend Superintendent Mase for his innovative leadership. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

We discussed state and federal efforts to address #COVID19 as well as the importance of preparing for the upcoming influenza season. I appreciate the efforts of lab manager Jayme Parker & Nisha Fowler, & all the lab employees for their dedication and hard work. https://t.co/c0TEEJoFI1 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Fairbanks is home to the only diagnostic virology laboratory in the state, the Alaska State Virology Laboratory. I dropped by to visit the lab and meet with the researchers working behind the scenes to address viral diseases such as #COVID19. https://t.co/y9NJSeppBY — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

.@SenBrianSchatz & I called on Defense Secretary Mark Esper to provide updates on how the DoD is preventing & combating child sexual exploitation. For the sake of children across the U.S., this legislation must be implemented & done so in a timely manner. https://t.co/WRxW9K7UM7 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

In 2018, the DoD’s network ranked 19th out of 2,891 networks nationwide when it came to peer-to-peer file trading of child pornography. Last year the legislative effort I led with @SenBrianSchatz to help police these acts was signed into law. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Thanks to @NSF for recognizing the value of preserving another Alaska Native language. This grant to @SHInstitute will help record elders speaking Xaad Kíl, a Northern Haida language, and is a critical investment in the future of Alaska Native culture. https://t.co/KoCBY9aA1b — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

In June, I introduced the bipartisan Emergency Family Stabilization Act to help organizations serving vulnerable family and youth, such as Covenant House, navigate the uncertainty of #COVID19. We must ensure these organizations are able to continue their vital services. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

For decades now, @CovenantHouseAK has been providing at-risk youth with safe, permanent housing, workforce training, and vital social services. This is a great piece on the amazing work Covenant House has been doing, especially as we continue to combat #COVID19. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I’m encouraged to see so many levels of government & individuals working together to turn the tide on this crisis. Each individual supporting this effort is a piece of the solution and a testament to the collaboration and a commitment to ending this crisis. https://t.co/8VQvw2Lh1c — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I’d like to thank Tara Sweeney, @ASIndianAffairs, for her leadership on the Operation Lady Justice Task Force, and for her tireless efforts to unify communities to combat the #MMNA crisis head-on. https://t.co/xcsXr3G5Mc — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

For the first time ever, we provided real dollars to prioritize the crisis of missing and murdered Native Americans (#MMNA), but there’s still so much more that needs to be done. https://t.co/1C2XcE8alN — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

One of the most vulnerable times for an Alaska Native woman is the transition from a village to a hub community/city. We've learned from law enforcement that Native people, particularly young Native women, are targeted by traffickers when they arrive to a city or hub community. https://t.co/bsQP719DQN — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Alaska Native & American Indians experience disproportionate rates of homicide & have gone missing at alarming, unacceptable rates. The opening of the new Cold Case Office in Anchorage will help provide justice to families across Alaska. https://t.co/papSgXfP9H https://t.co/20bg5KE0k1 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The Postmaster General clarified that he had not intended to single out Alaska’s bypass mail system and that it is not his intention to dismantle bypass mail in Alaska. This is good, important news and the Alaska Delegation will ensure bypass mail stays intact and is respected. — PolitiTweet.org
