I thank @SecBernhardt and his team for their thousands of hours of hard work. I’m hopeful we can now move to a lease sale in the very near future, just as Congress intended, so that we can continue to strengthen our economy, our energy security, and our long-term prosperity. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The @BLM released the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the oil & gas leasing program for the Coastal Plain (1002 Area) of ANWR. This is a major step forward in our decades-long efforts to allow for responsible resource development in the 1002 Area. https://t.co/YoDizD8xFU — PolitiTweet.org

.@HHSgov's recent announcement is a critical step in our commitment to reversing the tide of youth vaping. I look forward to finalization & implementation of this new compliance policy & thank the administration for prioritizing the health of children, families, & communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I have been a strong proponent for placing robust restrictions on e-cigarette flavorings & related products that have been strategically marketed to children. We must do all we can to prevent youth from using & becoming addicted to these harmful products. https://t.co/c14optXSQH — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

This morning, I penned an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal with @SenDanSullivan & @RepDonYoung reiterating why the resources in the 1002 Area are needed, and why responsible development should be allowed to proceed. Read here → https://t.co/HiJEH5qjTe @WSJ — PolitiTweet.org

As the House votes on their anti-energy bill, I want to make it clear that this bill should go nowhere – just like the ANWR wilderness bill introduced in the Senate yesterday. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I appreciate each of these passionate individuals for their efforts towards education & advocacy. I'll continue to do what I can at a federal level to improve access to healthcare services, research, & preventative measures in support of so many that have been impacted by cancer. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I was honored to be presented with the National Distinguished Advocacy Award from the ACS CAN for my legislative efforts to fight cancer, through bills such as the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act and The Safe Kids Act. https://t.co/33IpErLmZP — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Yesterday, I met with CEO of @ACSCANAK and the @AmericanCancer, Gary M. Reedy, President of ACS CAN Lisa Lacasse, and members of ACS CAN Alaska, including Joey Yourkoski, a 17-year-old cancer survivor from Nikiski, Alaska. https://t.co/CXcIUGN8Wu — PolitiTweet.org

Meetings like this are essential for further educating my Senate colleagues on Arctic issues and strengthening our collaboration and cooperation with our allies in the Arctic, as well as developing safe, secure, and reliable shipping in the region. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Alongside my colleagues @Sen_JoeManchin, and @SenAngusKing met with Greenland’s Foreign Minister and her delegation to discuss #Arctic issues and establishing a United States consulate office in Nuuk. https://t.co/s4e1szmP9U — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Today we remember the loved ones that were lost in the 9/11 attacks and the families and friends who mourned them. We must #NeverForget, that when we are united as a nation, serving and supporting each other with humility—we may be shaken, but we will never be broken. https://t.co/vBrFmRVDmo — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

We have a lot of work ahead of us, but I’m looking forward to working further to support tribal self-determination & the federal trust responsibility through collaboration with our tribes. We need to get more leaders to feel these issues in their hearts & to follow up w/ action. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I also discussed the public safety crisis facing our tribes, particularly in Alaska. Among domestic violence victims in Alaska, Native women are over-represented by 250%. Yet, one in three communities in Alaska has no local law enforcement. https://t.co/BXBTm7UrtY — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Whether it's VAWA or critical components of VAWA such as the Native Youth and Officer Protection Act and the Justice for Native Survivors Act, we must continue to work with our leaders to make sure that some of the Alaska-specific problems have Alaska-specific solutions. https://t.co/sHHIr38Wqg — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I’m working on several bills which have been introduced in the Senate and House this year that could help address the epidemic levels of violence against indigenous women and girls such as the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The importance for tribal leaders to speak with a united voice to effectively advance the consensus priorities of tribes across the nation cannot be understated. I spoke at @ncai1944’s Tribal Unity Impact Days regarding legislation I’ve worked to support these efforts. https://t.co/xinU7bUpGG — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Today, on #WorldSuicidePreventionDay, we are reminded that we have a responsibility to look out for one another. If you are struggling, know that you are not alone. If you know someone struggling, remember that sometimes just being present & listening can go a long way. https://t.co/evR0zjkByM — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

In my role as a U.S. Senator, I take #SuicidePrevention very seriously & have been working hard to move legislation to help develop stronger suicide prevention and intervention strategies. My colleagues and I recognize that this issue needs attention, and it needs attention now. https://t.co/psogXHdjXt — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Alaska has some of the highest suicide rates in the nation. But no matter where you live, one life lost to suicide, is one life too many. #SuicidePrevention requires a multifaceted approach including the help of friends, family, healthcare professionals, law enforcement & more. https://t.co/h7AhQi6wXy — PolitiTweet.org

Our #energy future is bright, but only if we recognize the world we are in. Read my full op-ed from today’s @WashTimes Energy 2019 Special Section → https://t.co/64JxLr8ZQI — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Our striking lack of robust tools for economic statecraft impairs our ability to reach commercial deals & build critical infrastructure on a strategic basis… In July, I unveiled a new Strategic Energy Initiative (SEI) to confront this competitive reality. https://t.co/WuRPTmRtt0 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Without question, our #energy future is global…Other nations compete with us on a daily basis — as they should — and we need to equip ourselves for that competition. https://t.co/ib2XvhMi2a — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

One encouraging take-away from my conversation was that young Alaskans are being taught early how to react to the natural disasters in our state. As one teacher said, “I didn’t even have time to tell my students what to do to stay safe. I looked up & they were already doing it." https://t.co/vccn4JTNNC — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Recently I talked w/ a 7th grade class that experienced the magnitude 7.1 earthquake last November at Houston Middle School, currently going to classes in temporary facilities on the Houston High School Campus after the Middle School was closed due to damage from the disaster. https://t.co/OA22KavjeI — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Thank you @EnergyDepSec for making the trip, for spending so much time in Alaska, and for everything you and your team are doing to form a strong partnership with our state. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

On my last day home after an extraordinary five weeks in Alaska, I made two batches of raspberry jam (raspberries from my yard) and a super great rhubarb chutney with cranberries thrown in from Healy. Alaskan autumns are the best! https://t.co/BIFojFqigp — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Thankful for the time spent with my family going on our annual duck hunt in the Interior. https://t.co/CJmW2udvtc — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I was glad to visit w/ a group of firefighters from the lower 48 as they ended their time fighting fires in Alaska, to say thank & to discuss the importance of proper forest management. To say they’ve done our nation & the state of Alaska a very big favor, is an understatement. https://t.co/mHmH2FMIsE — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

But in the midst of that heartbreaking reality, we’ve also seen the heroism of so many firefighters and first responders— men and women not just from Alaska but also from states across the country. https://t.co/K2w45RVu4c — PolitiTweet.org
