There is absolutely no reason to delay this election, and it is not going to happen. It’s incumbent on us to ensure safe and secure elections, and that’s exactly what the Congress has been doing. — PolitiTweet.org

During the hearing, I announced a new bill I introduced w/ @SenatorSinema, @SenCapito & @SenWhitehouse. Our bipartisan CREATE Act will help ensure coordinated leadership across federal agencies as we pursue the development of these innovative technologies. https://t.co/TsbF1OO7RD https://t.co/mWfQtzj1Z7 — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday I chaired an @EnergyGOP hearing on the development of carbon removal technologies that permanently remove carbon dioxide from the air and the ocean. These technologies are not only real, but they are needed and worth pursuing. https://t.co/dj5TWGPwpK — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Thanks to @StateDept for prioritizing the Arctic by naming James DeHart as the point person within the agency on #Arctic issues. I look forward to working with Mr. DeHart on advancing U.S. Arctic policies and interests. — PolitiTweet.org

While Alaskan residents will still be able to be tested for the COVID-19 virus at the airport upon arrival, testing will not be available to non-residents in order to conserve vital testing resources for communities in need. Info on the new protocol here: https://t.co/GL6KE5Qu3b — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday Governor Dunleavy announced that starting on August 11th, all non-residents traveling to Alaska must arrive to the state with a negative #COVID19 PCR test, taken in the previous 72 hours. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s pivotal that Alaska receives their remaining $5 million CARES Act CBSG funding, that is currently being withheld at HHS – these are critical dollars to support impoverished and economically impacted communities across the state. https://t.co/mrbZCs87C8 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Alongside @SenatorShaheen I introduced legislation which will make a small, but necessary change to clarify that the maximum allotment provision does not apply to supplemental appropriations for FY20, allowing “small” states to receive their fair share of funding. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Due to statutory constraints in the Community Services Block Grant formula, states with smaller populations such as Alaska have been unable to receive their entire share of funding appropriated in the CARES Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I appreciate the administration’s focus on reducing drug costs and look forward to reviewing further details on these Executive Orders. Drug pricing needs to remain a priority. https://t.co/wEyqOYf8Wa — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

As a member of the Senate HELP committee, I’ve also been working with colleagues to ensure access to affordable medications to best support the health and financial security of Alaskans and all Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I have been a strong supporter of legislation to reduce prescription drug prices, joining Senator @ChuckGrassley in reintroducing the Prescription Drug Pricing Act, to prioritize the health of patients and their pocketbooks. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

As we work in Congress to address the rising cost of prescription drugs, I appreciate the administration's efforts to do the same. President Trump recently signed Executive Orders aimed at reducing the cost of prescription drugs & increasing access to life-saving medications. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

My bipartisan minerals legislation is part of the HEALS Act. It would rebuild US supply chains and address systemic weaknesses. It would also boost US manufacturing and competitiveness. https://t.co/85OukR766G https://t.co/p0rFXRV4ZE — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

These Cold Case Task Force offices are possible because of the funding included in the 2020 omnibus appropriations bill. Our hope is that they lead to providing justice for the victims and healing for their families. Every step forward is a step in the right direction. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The importance placed on this issue from the Administration will help us move beyond awareness to action by working to advance initiatives to turn the tide on this crisis. It has truly become an ‘all-hands-on-deck’ effort at all levels of government. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Addressing the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women is going to take all of us to make lasting change. I applaud the administration for the establishment of 7 Cold Case Task Force offices across the U.S., dedicated to solving #MMIW cold cases. https://t.co/0Z6La6TOB0 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I’m proud to help lead the Mothers and Newborn Success Act, legislation that aims to reduce maternal and infant mortality, ensure that all infants can grow up healthy and safe. We need to protect women’s health before, during, and after pregnancy. https://t.co/I30JZtsG6x — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

There are significant racial & ethnic inequities in maternal and infant mortality rates in the U.S. According to the data, American Indian & Alaska Native women are three to four times more likely than white women to die of complications related to pregnancy and/or childbirth. https://t.co/uhKiWBEcqg — PolitiTweet.org

It accounts for almost 30 percent of electric generation in Alaska, with plenty of room for more. Many of our small and remote communities, particularly in Southeast Alaska, are looking to tap into their local resources. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s is a critical baseload generating asset that provides the vast majority of clean, renewable energy in the United States and it has huge untapped potential for our nation and Alaska. https://t.co/bihfIcnjMd — PolitiTweet.org

I thank my Senate colleagues for supporting the inclusion of my legislation the Nuclear Energy Leadership Act (#NELA) which aims to reestablish U.S. leadership in nuclear energy, in the recently passed Senate #NDAA for FY2021. https://t.co/u7yxntFueX https://t.co/JL6Z7BPLkk — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

For too long, the United States has lagged woefully behind on innovative nuclear energy technologies, which comes at great cost to our economy, our global leadership, and the environment. — PolitiTweet.org
