At @EielsonAirForce Base the construction & expansion of the Combat Arms Training and Maintenance an outdoor firing range to improve training & combat readiness – a necessary project due to the increase in deployable Airmen w/ the recent arrival of the F-35s has been put forth. — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate passed #NDAA prioritizes the construction and improvement of military infrastructure, including multiple projects in Alaska. At Fort Greely, the bill authorizes funding for the construction of a Communications Center in support of the critical missile defense assets. — PolitiTweet.org

Wildfires know no boundaries; Alaska knows this well. Thank you to all of our firefighters for your bravery and dedication to working together, and today especially I want to recognize the good work of NIFC which makes this possible. #NIFC50 https://t.co/5FKUKKkCOI — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

When a wildfire spreads it often will cross lands managed by multiple entities & government agencies. The complexity of that is not always recognized, but we have the National Interagency Fire Center (@NIFC_Fire) to thank, which has been at the heart of coordination for 50 years. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Building on the efforts to strengthen America’s #Arctic presence, the bill includes provisions that improve Arctic security, enhance communications infrastructure, procures Arctic equipment, & focuses our military and national security leadership in the region. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

This legislation authorizes the Ted Stevens Center for Arctic Security Studies, a new @DeptofDefense Center that will aid in improving America’s national security, as well as improve our presence and understanding of the #Arctic. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I’m proud the recently passed National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) invests in America’s presence in the #Arctic, ensuring that we look ‘North to the Future’. https://t.co/vDcxCXlWwi — PolitiTweet.org

On top of a number of provisions to improve America’s presence in the Arctic, key components of a bill I introduced are included with @SenDanSullivan which would authorize the Ted Stevens Center for Arctic Security Studies, a new @DeptofDefense Center. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The #NDAA includes measures to improve the quality of life of our Armed Forces by including a 3% pay raise for troops, shoring up mental & behavioral health needs & ensuring we are retaining & recruiting talented military personnel from all backgrounds. https://t.co/1QsSeyIcrE https://t.co/Huqt1054Z8 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Yesterday the U.S. Senate passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). This bill authorized funding to our military, including modernizing military technology, improving the livelihoods of troops & their families, & military construction—including in Alaska. https://t.co/TEOfNRlZPE — PolitiTweet.org

Revenue from non-resident hunting & fishing licenses in #Alaska is down 90 percent, which will impact state programs that support subsistence hunting and wildlife habitat conservation. https://t.co/WRiwzFxkM9 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

That hurts small businesses and communities, like one Talkeetna flightseeing company I visited last week, which normally operates 20+ planes but now only has 3 in circulation. They worry they might not make it through the end of the year. https://t.co/AM0VrS6JYi — PolitiTweet.org

At today’s Energy & Natural Resources Committee hearing, we examined the #COVID19 impact on users of public lands, forests & parks—which have seen a 22% drop in visitors. https://t.co/FgRmTMamnY — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Right now @SenDanSullivan & I are hosting a live Teletown Hall event to hear directly from Alaskans about their concerns & answer questions. We’ll also share an update on the work we’re doing in D.C, including #COVID19 response efforts. Listen live here: https://t.co/3HuplbYEf6 https://t.co/djI8krz4q3 — PolitiTweet.org

As the project moves forward, I encourage the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA) to fully engage w/ local landowners to reach agreement on necessary rights-of-way & to coordinate with local communities to avoid impacts so this project can become a reality. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

That will, in turn, mean good jobs for Alaskans and revenues for our state. I appreciate BLM’s years of work to complete federal permitting for this project, but not all work is finished. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

This federal approval is timely and significant for #Alaska’s future. This project will provide the access needed to responsibly develop a number of high-grade #mineral deposits, hopefully leading to greater production of copper, cobalt, zinc, silver, gold, and other metals. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Improvements to ocean monitoring, exploration, & innovation will help increase Alaska’s sustainable seafood production, support our coastal communities & residents, & develop stronger transportation, recreation, & energy production—all part of Alaska’s vibrant blue economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

New & improved data sources will allow us to strategically link economic growth & stewardship of our oceans, bays, Great Lakes, & estuaries. For Alaskans, investing in ocean science will help provide greater opportunities in national security, tourism, & other marine activities. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I’m proud that my legislation with @SenWhitehouse, the BLUE GLOBE Act, which prioritizes innovation and development of technology, was approved by the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee by voice vote yesterday. https://t.co/BSuA2sMRg1 https://t.co/NZAAFOrdwr — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

As one of the top priorities expressed by small business lenders in Alaska, I’m proud to support this bill which will help more of Alaska’s small businesses in their pursuit of financial recovery from the impacts of #COVID-19. https://t.co/dXL1kA8lbm — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I joined @SenKevinCramer, @SenatorMenendez & @SenatorSinema as a cosponsor of the Paycheck Protection Small Business Forgiveness Act- simple legislation that would make the PPP loan forgiveness process easier for small businesses & could save them & lenders nearly $2B nationwide. — PolitiTweet.org

#AEIA addresses a range of #EnergyInnovation technologies key to helping America get back on its feet and help us capture the industries of the future. #NARUCSummer20 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Energy is crucial to our everyday lives, and I appreciate the utility workers who have kept the lights on through the #COVID19 pandemic. Yesterday at #NARUCSummer20 I shared an update on the bipartisan #AEIA, which Congress could enact this year to help the energy industry. — PolitiTweet.org

#COVID19 has had an overwhelming impact on many rural communities across the country, and has disproportionately impacted minorities, including the Native population in Alaska. I appreciate @SecAzar for prioritizing the health and well-being of these underserved communities. — PolitiTweet.org
