Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

My thanks to the Senate Commerce Committee for prioritizing the safety and management of the #Arctic region by advancing my bill with @SenatorWicker, @SenDanSullivan, and @SenatorCantwell—the Arctic Shipping Federal Advisory Committee Act.

Glad to bring #Arctic and Congressional leaders together to speak on Parliamentary Arctic cooperation, including climate change, plastic debris, and the acidification of the Arctic Ocean, as well as furthering economic growth and sustainable development in the High North. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I’ll never turn down the opportunity to discuss the #Arctic and how we can work together to address emerging Arctic challenges and opportunities. Thank you to @ScottMinerd and President @ORGrimsson for your work on improving collaboration and cooperation in the region. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I’m proud to celebrate incredible women like Dr. Darden for paving the way for racial and gender equality, and empowering young women across the globe to dream big. https://t.co/ivr78d1Ebw — PolitiTweet.org

Last month my legislation honoring these trailblazing women with Congressional Gold Medals for their historic contributions to U.S. science, mathematics, technology, and engineering, was signed into law. #STEM https://t.co/vDoGad6xZG — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Yesterday I gladly spoke at an event at the U.S. Capitol recognizing the lives of Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, Dr. Christine Darden, Mary Jackson, and the many women who made important contributions to @NASA during the Space Race. #HiddenFigures https://t.co/nZE1YKytV9 — PolitiTweet.org

This agreement is a significant step to explore the area’s oil and gas potential. I’m encouraged by Hilcorp’s continued investment in our state. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I have been paying very close attention to what IMO 2020 could mean for Alaskans – especially for those who live in rural and remote areas where shipping prices are already a cause of economic hardship. https://t.co/rEVGLK1HlX — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

IMO 2020 will benefit the environment, we need to keep an eye on prices, but I’m glad to see consensus among many analysts that the economic impacts of it will be less than what was projected just a year ago. https://t.co/JI7aZmEjM4 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Today chaired an Energy and Natural Resources Committee hearing the upcoming implementation of the International Maritime Organization’s new global sulfur standard for marine fuels – known as “IMO 2020.” https://t.co/5hanlykAgn https://t.co/qxa2VlSLYB — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I have said from the start that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act had room for improvement. This bill is a positive step towards fine-tuning the tax reform bill to bring relief to those who already struggle to face the high costs of basic water and sewer service in a state like Alaska. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Many water and sewer utilities in Alaska rely on contributions of homebuilders and others interested in expansion of service to offset the cost of service build-out. In the absence of this, the cost gets passed on to customers in the form of higher bills. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I am very pleased to join my colleague @SenatorShaheen in introducing bipartisan legislation to restore tax-exempt status of contributions in aid of construction received by water utilities. More info➡ https://t.co/qrRScvXNn0 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

In the HELP Committee, we’ve been hard at work over the past year on a number of provisions to increase transparency, lower costs, eliminate surprise billing, and improve public health. These issues are a high priority, and I am eager to review bill package. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

In what seems to be an ever increasing divisive time if you look at the headlines—I’m so encouraged bipartisan legislative efforts continue. I’m pleased to see the bipartisan, bicameral agreement on legislation aimed to lower health care costs. https://t.co/rI4rqxWFah — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Hearing and seeing how the roads in Anchorage are literally ice skating rinks today. While some of the what we're seeing looks all in good fun, please remember that these are dangerous conditions, so take it slow and stay safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I congratulate @AlyeskaPipeline on this milestone and appreciate their constant focus on the safe operation of the pipeline. I also thank the Trump administration for recognizing the value of Alaskan energy and for working with us to restore throughput. #EnergyIsGood — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

TAPS is not just a pipeline, it is Alaska’s economic lifeline. From day one, Alaska’s pipeline has helped us build our state while also strengthening the prosperity and security of our nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Today @AlyeskaPipeline Service Company, the operator of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS), announced the 18-billionth barrel of oil entered Pump Station 1 of the 800-mile pipeline—more than double what was originally projected. https://t.co/cBD4vFrMqU https://t.co/tsvAReIV5L — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Any opportunity to share Alaska's unique history and culture is exciting news. Togo was the lead sled dog of Leonhard Seppala's dog sled team, famous for their run to deliver lifesaving diphtheria serum to Nome in 1925. Truly a story worth telling. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I’m pleased to see @EPA’s announcement that communities across Alaska are set to receive grant funding to construct wastewater infrastructure projects and for drinking water projects. Click the link for more info and the full list of grants: https://t.co/TbSTOzca2v — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Through my role as Chairman of the Interior Appropriations, I’ve worked to prioritize meeting basic needs –like funding for water and wastewater infrastructure for communities who need it most. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Through this resolution, we are aiming to increase awareness of the runaway and homeless youth crisis and the issues these young people face. Together, we can all do our part to keep these young people from slipping through the cracks. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Far too many of Alaska’s youth are fleeing from abusive situations at home or the foster care system, into a cycle of homelessness that can often be difficult to reverse. These youth are brave, resilient, and are filled with potential. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

As a proud cosponsor, I’m encouraged to know that a resolution introduced by @SenDanSullivan recognizing November as National Runaway Prevention Month passed the U.S. Senate this week. https://t.co/p4aYhvljgo — PolitiTweet.org
