It has always been clear that children need good nutrition to learn and grow strong. In 1946, Congress passed the National School Lunch Act to help provide balanced meals, prevent malnutrition, and bolster our national security. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The bill also encourages the Dept. of @ENERGY's OIE to foster more locally and regionally based partnerships to best tribes. This legislation will improve OIE to ensure its impact is both positive and consistent for Alaska Natives and American Indians. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Alongside @SenTinaSmith I introduced the Tribal Energy Reauthorization Act (TERA) which authorizes & improves OIE & the Tribal Energy Loan Guarantee Program through 2030 & addresses the overly restrictive Indian land requirements for energy project grants. https://t.co/j40DRONjVh — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

We know that many rural & tribal communities face extreme energy challenges & pay some of the highest rates for electricity in the country. The Dept. of @ENERGY's Office of Indian Energy Policy and Programs (OIE) has the potential to be transformative in addressing this issue. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m excited to be part of the @IEA’s Global Commission for Urgent Action on Energy Efficiency. In this effort to accelerate #EfficiencyAction for economic, environmental & social benefits, we would like to hear your view on #EnergyEfficiency→ https://t.co/y9eUsCtwJ4 https://t.co/17mOehe7OZ — PolitiTweet.org

The bill protecting our mineral security by improving topographic, geological, and geophysical mapping, in order to identify domestic deposits of critical minerals. We need to build a robust domestic supply chain, and I’m pleased this bill includes provisions to support that. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Minerals are the foundation of our modern society, and they don’t just appear out of thin air. I am proud that my Interior-Environment Appropriations bill for FY2020 works to significantly strengthen America’s mineral security. https://t.co/vt24jkRO4H https://t.co/hy76KdOVEk — PolitiTweet.org

I thank the staff and volunteers with Priceless who are doing tremendous work and giving survivors hope. https://t.co/EZ5eX8UTbL — PolitiTweet.org

Sex trafficking is the 2nd fastest growing crime in AK & targets children ages 13-15. It’s not happening in a centralized place, it’s happening everywhere. Hidden in plain sight. This fuels me to do everything I can to shine a spotlight & work to put an end to this heinous crime. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I had an eye opening experience spending time with folks from Priceless Alaska—an anti-sex trafficking org that’s helping victims start a new life. I heard more about risk factors such as how people are targeted through social media and that Native women are at particular risk. https://t.co/Oo3GzlFQDH — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

From addressing law enforcement training, trauma informed care, and housing for example, we spoke about the importance of alignment & creating a framework on which to build. We need to change the reality that far too many women and children do not feel safe in their communities. https://t.co/XltB344dBe — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

It’s imperative we don’t lose that momentum on the amount of attention, focus & resources addressing these issues. I recently held a roundtable in Anchorage with tribal leaders and advocates to discuss ideas and solutions to creating safer communities throughout the state. https://t.co/OwaAj6IMZv — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

This summer, AG Barr declared a law enforcement emergency in rural Alaska, prompting additional funding to support critical law enforcement needs & for victim services. Our problem extends to high rates of violence against women & an epidemic of missing&murdered indigenous women. — PolitiTweet.org

Mental Illness Awareness Week (MIAW) is an opportunity for us all to support those who are struggling & to educate the public. This isn’t always an easy topic to talk about, but it’s an important one. #MIAW2019 may be coming to an end, but our efforts to #EndTheStigma cannot. https://t.co/G4kZAJ0mqf — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

We crafted funding bills that invest in development of Arctic infrastructure, help maintain the Permafrost Tunnel Research Facility in Alaska, spur the development of cold weather gear for soldiers, strengthen America’s leadership capabilities in the region, and so much more. https://t.co/6Z4R1kzhMT — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Throughout the process of developing our budget for FY2020, I made it a priority to develop bipartisan legislation with our role as an Arctic nation in mind. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I’m working hard to ensure that the America not only has a seat at the table when it comes to developing sound, global policies, but that we also continue to capitalize on opportunities to advance U.S. interests. https://t.co/ADvbPpmHla — PolitiTweet.org

As @_Arctic_Circle comes to an end, I’m encouraged by the good, collaborative discussions I shared with fellow Arctic enthusiasts that understand the value and potential of the region. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The @_Arctic_Circle brings together governments, indigenous leaders, scientists, environmentalists, industry, thought leaders, and universities, to name a few, to discuss ideas and work through problems related to the Arctic region, and the impacts for the rest of the globe. https://t.co/WtAZbGw0L7 — PolitiTweet.org

My time in Iceland was a valuable opportunity to gather with so many who recognize the global importance of the #Arctic—to share ideas, work through problems, and build consensus. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I also spoke with @USAmbIceland Gunter & others at the soon to open new @USEmbReykjavik to discuss how the U.S. & Iceland can support multilateral cooperation in the Arctic, and implementation of safe & secure activities in the region that protect our environment. https://t.co/KMFhtu7Og1 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

As an Arctic nation, it’s important the U.S. works to strengthen relations w/ our arctic neighbors and partners, which is why discussions like the one I had w/ Greenland Foreign Minister @Ane_Lone Bagger & Iceland's former Foreign Minister Ossur Skarphedinsson are so important. https://t.co/F4fSwR20xQ — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I was glad to speak at #ArcticCircle2019 on how the #Arctic is a region of importance-- one we should be focused on. We must continue to partner & collaborate w/ other Arctic nations on research, addressing climate change, search and rescue agreements, and so much more. — PolitiTweet.org
