An unfortunate reality is that Native women in Alaska are victims of violence in unprecedented proportions. I spoke on the Senate Floor about the urgency of addressing the epidemic of missing, murdered, and trafficked Native women in America. — PolitiTweet.org

I will always be a proud mom—even if that means embarrassing my 28 year-old son by continuing to wear the pumpkin necklace he made me when he was in kindergarten. #HappyHalloween! https://t.co/rrH49FW3uO — PolitiTweet.org

This Commission is setting out to work to address those challenges to promote better outcomes. Because together, we can build hope for these children. https://t.co/oOab3UePuL — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The Commission is tasked with looking holistically at the many challenges Native children face - whether it’s Alaska Native children in a small village or a reservation on the Lower 48. Some of those obstacles include increased risks of suicide & low high school graduation rates. https://t.co/30qTdQX90l — PolitiTweet.org

It was an incredibly proud moment to join the Commission on Native Children meeting—alongside my friend and former colleague Senator Heitkamp, who I was happy to work with on legislation which created the Commission. https://t.co/BgLB1KuLj2 — PolitiTweet.org

B/c of folks like Mike, Alaskans have learned a lot about the geology behind the 1964 Good Friday Earthquake, & we’ve since learned even more from the magnitude 7.1 earthquake. We can’t prevent earthquakes, but I appreciate the folks that help make sure we’re ready when they come https://t.co/gCJAAivuhC — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I recently met with Mike West from the @AKearthquake at @uafairbanks to discuss improving the safety and resiliency of our earthquake early warning systems in my state. We also discussed the need to focus more on tsunami readiness and awareness at a state and federal level. https://t.co/ysvDu6zMZu — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

In Alaska, we know firsthand how devastating the impacts of earthquakes can be. Our state’s seismic vulnerabilities make it essential to support and develop effective earthquake monitoring facilities to help ensure Alaskans are as prepared as possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I'm proud to introduce the Allied Health Workforce Diversity Act, alongside @SenBobCasey, which creates a $5 million per year grant program to recruit a more diverse group of professionals in the allied health fields. https://t.co/tzWWbsDhmE — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

As the U.S. struggles w/ healthcare provider shortages, perhaps no one feels that more than rural areas such as Alaska. Across our state, communities could benefit from a more robust workforce, particularly in fields such as occupational therapy, physical therapy, & audiology. https://t.co/ReXj9RSf6P — PolitiTweet.org

My thanks to all the Alaskans, including my staff, who came out to support these brave men and women, and thank you to all of our veterans for their service to this country. https://t.co/dIzR3Ezn5W — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

As a state that so many veterans call home, I’m glad to see our community coming together to provide veterans with important services, including free medical screenings, legal guidance, housing advice, employment services, clothing donations and so much more. https://t.co/NcafoVRuKq — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Recently, volunteers from agencies, charitable organizations, and businesses in Alaska came together in support of the 27th annual Stand Down for Veterans event that recently took place in Anchorage. https://t.co/uVZK52P8br — PolitiTweet.org

I appreciate @SenDanSullivan & @RepDonYoung for their leadership on this issue & the @EPA for recognizing that a one-size-fits-all method isn’t workable for Alaska. This is significant, long-awaited news for the remote communities in Alaska that rely on these generators. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Today the @EPA issued new regulations will make much-needed progress towards enabling Alaskans to lower the overall costs of their energy bills. https://t.co/0tsQQgrcbS — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I am proud of the leading edge reforms that started right here in Alaska, and I want to encourage, not stand in the way of, that creativity. We should all want to give consumers more choice when it comes to healthcare. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The Trump administration’s guidance maintains protections for those with preexisting conditions, & gives states more flexibility to pursue innovative ideas like ours. Today I voted to stay the course on the Trump administration guidance expanding the flexibility of these waivers. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Alaska’s 1332 State Innovation Waiver has helped us lead the way in creating state-based reforms to help offset the high cost of care. This has enabled lower premiums and better market stability. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

My thanks to Amy, and to all the Alaskan teachers and education professionals who are committed to empowering Alaskan youth. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Teachers play a critical role in helping our children meet their potential & are dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of our youth. Congrats to West Valley High School’s Amy Gallaway on being named 2020 Alaska Teacher of the Year. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

These grants will go a long way for Alaskan families, and provide much needed financial relief, such as to replace and relocate the diesel power plant in McGrath and to help construct a 300 to 400- kilowatt hydroelectric generating facility at Five Mile Creek in Chitina. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

These six entities receiving funds will now be able to make improvements to their energy technology, for more affordable, reliable energy. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Many parts of Alaska face exorbitantly high energy costs, over twice what those in the Lower 48 pay. So I’m pleased the @USDA is providing much needed funding to some of our state’s most rural communities through the High Energy Cost Grant program. https://t.co/fKds6IjwDO https://t.co/ro1GBrWLNp — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I thank the administration for advancing solid policies that are making the U.S. a global energy production leader and driving revenue growth for our federal, state, and local governments. ONRR disbursements are yet another example of the power of American energy. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I’m glad revenues from energy development on federal lands in Alaska are coming home to support communities in our state. I hope and expect these revenues will continue to grow as responsible development in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska & other federal areas move forward. — PolitiTweet.org
