I applaud the President for this action, building on Attorney General Barr’s recent announcement, which is a signal of the urgency and importance that has been placed on this issue. For more information, click here: https://t.co/ih0mof5aAt — PolitiTweet.org

Between this executive order, the initiatives coming out of @TheJusticeDept, and my long-standing efforts—turning the tide of this #MMIW crisis has truly become an ‘all-hands-on-deck’ approach. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

From legislative efforts such as my bills Savanna’s Act and the Not Invisible Act to securing significant funding through my role on the Senate Appropriations Committee, I’ve been working hard to elevate the #MMIW epidemic on a national level. https://t.co/C8I6ip6pWr — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

President Trump signed an executive order to create a taskforce to help address the epidemic of missing and murdered Indigenous women. This follows a recent Department of Justice announcement launching a nationwide strategy to respond to the crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Alaskans helping Alaskans comes as no surprise, but I am deeply appreciative of the many Alaskans who are working to support the men and women who have sacrificed so much for our country’s freedom. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

My thanks to Jerry Hanson, Milt Sawyers, Walt Crary, and others in the Fairbanks area who are working hard to find ways to support the many veterans in our state who are unfortunately experiencing homelessness by making plans for the North Pole Vet Village. — PolitiTweet.org

Congrats to Yukon Flats School District & Hydaburg School District for winning the @usdaRD Distance Learning and Telemedicine grant to provide STEM distance learning to students & supply new educational opportunities & teacher instruction. Great news! https://t.co/XFwlZMF8lL — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Proud to lead the Protecting Social Workers & Health Professionals from Workplace Violence Act, which will help states provide critical safety measures, including the necessary tools, training, & technology to keep those in these careers and others safe. https://t.co/PMf9smi41C — PolitiTweet.org

It’s so encouraging to see Alaskans continue to be leaders in pioneering new methods to increase food security and make healthy foods more accessible, all while making small but innovative steps to recycle natural waste products. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I was also proud to share that two bills of mine aimed at addressing the crisis of missing, murdered, and trafficked Native women—Savanna’s Act and the Not Invisible Act—were passed out of committee this week and now head to the full Senate for consideration. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I discussed my efforts on the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, my Alaska Tribal Public Safety Empowerment Act, which builds on @RepDonYoung’s pilot program to address violence against Native women, & finding a bipartisan path forward for the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). https://t.co/9JIpxFJxFZ — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I recently had the opportunity to speak at the Alaska Native Village Corporation Association (@INFOANVCA1) luncheon about my work in the Senate to support the Alaska Native community and on the important work of our Alaska Native Corporations. https://t.co/eADSJ5AlqV — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The crisis of missing, trafficked & murdered Indigenous women continues to remain a pressing issue that we must address. I’m proud that my bills, Savanna’s Act and the Not Invisible Act, both have advanced out of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee with bipartisan support. #MMIW — PolitiTweet.org

Mapping the waters around our state will provide valuable information on critical minerals and coastal resources while supporting safer shipping in the #Arctic. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Only a small part of the #Arctic has been charted to modern standards, hindering the safety of maritime operations. This Presidential directive builds on my own efforts to secure strong funding for @NOAA's hydrographic surveys to address the backlog of Arctic charting needs. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The #Arctic in particular is crucial to our nation’s geopolitical, economic, and environmental well-being. Our waters are home to an abundant variety of untapped natural resources that can be used for food, medicine, and energy. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

.@POTUS recently directed federal agencies to map the shoreline & nearshore of Alaska & the U.S. exclusive economic zone. This is an important step for AK, especially for the #Arctic as we are woefully behind in developing up-to-date maps for the region. https://t.co/gJnUsCgSYy — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

To help address these issues, I recently reintroduced my Advancing FASD Research, Prevention, and Services Act, which approaches the issue of prenatal substance abuse with a broader scope than in years past. Click below ⇩ for more info: https://t.co/wdc4WeFm64 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Alaska faces some of the highest rates of FASD in the nation. And while the effects—physical, mental, and behavioral—may be incurable, FASD is 100% preventable. We also know the epidemic of opioid and substance abuse has wreaked havoc in Alaska, impacting pregnant mothers too. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

During the Gala we celebrated the contributions of Dr. Pearl Kiyawn Nageak Brower (Iñupiaq/Chippewa/Armenian), Nelson Angapak (Yup’ik), and former Governor Bill Walker to the Alaska Native community, and for their commitment to improving the lives of our First Peoples. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Great to join so many Alaskans at the Howard Rock & Ted Stevens Smokehouse Gala, which celebrates & recognizes the contributions of Alaska Native peoples and those in advancing our collective wellbeing. https://t.co/RNRuhbprwK — PolitiTweet.org

As I continue my efforts in Washington D.C. to ensure quality, affordable care to create a safer, healthier Alaska, conversations like these, with the men and women that see every day the challenges and opportunities that face our state, are invaluable. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

This includes everything from the current e-cigarette and vaping epidemic and the need to improve recruitment and retention of providers, to improving access to mental health and telehealth services. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

This weekend I sat down with the Anchorage Pediatric Group to talk through some of the most pressing health issues that are impacting Alaska’s youth. We had good conversations on some of our mutual priorities & the many policy initiatives that I’m working on to help address them. https://t.co/NIzVYRxDWq — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I ended my discussion with the nominee to be FDA Commissioner by discussing my ongoing concerns over Genetically Engineered salmon, asking for his commitment to helping ensure clear, consistent labeling requirements for any GE Salmon that enters the U.S. market. https://t.co/CNv2HJc703 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I also noted that the FDA's seafood advice surrounding pregnant & nursing women wasn't developed based on their own studies on the net effects of seafood consumption but rather the EPA's mercury reference dose which ignores the benefits of seafood & measures risks in isolation. https://t.co/FNRbZNDXYG — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

One of the things I've learned through my interactions with #ALS advocates is that patient partnership is essential to research. During the hearing I asked Dr. Hahn to ensure that the voices of ALS patients, & other patients dealing with terminal diseases, are heard by the FDA. https://t.co/jNWalJsb51 — PolitiTweet.org
