I thank @BetsyDeVosED for visiting & appreciate the American Charter Academy for their dedication to ensuring every student has access to a quality education. Their school is a great example of the diverse options that we offer within our public school system in Alaska. https://t.co/HhSQusdHxL — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

We also took part in a roundtable made up completely of students, who shared that while the school was “doing the best they could with what they had”- a new location for the school (currently located in a strip mall) would make a huge difference in their educational experience. https://t.co/vpYZNkvlSp — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday U.S. Secretary of Education @BetsyDeVosED & I visited the American Charter Academy, a public charter school in Willow with a strong focus on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math), digital literacy, cultural literacy and civics. https://t.co/hgjsrLVBcm — PolitiTweet.org

The Hilcorp Energy Company has a strong record of hiring Alaskans and I hope they will continue and strengthen our record of responsible production on the North Slope. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I’m looking forward to learning more details and am encouraged that an enterprising company like Hilcorp sees so much opportunity in Alaska & is willing to make such significant investments in one of the most prolific & under-explored basins in the world. #northslope #prudhoebay. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Hilcorp Energy Co. announced it has reached an agreement to acquire all of @BP_Alaska’s assets & interests. We thank BP for its long-standing partnership on resource production in AK & for the many philanthropic contributions it has made in our communities https://t.co/RTYPJ1FBJV — PolitiTweet.org

Many of Alaska's projects to drive clean energy are in their pilot stage, but I look forward to helping mature these projects to ensure cleaner, more affordable energy for communities across the state. https://t.co/A3jYd7j3ss — PolitiTweet.org

Meeting with RIPP was not only a fascinating inside-look at the development of the second largest solar installation in the state, but also an encouraging reminder that Alaska has so much potential when it comes to renewable energy. https://t.co/NKULcDhWxd — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Three of the RIPP founders-- Sam Dennis, Jen Miller & Chris Colbert—talked me through some of the opportunities and challenges that their emerging solar project is facing in a unique state like Alaska and the vision they have for expanding. https://t.co/DPB4xWqltk — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Renewable Independent Power Producers (RIPP) is a new company focused on developing commercial scale solar farms in Alaska. Yesterday, I met with them at their recently installed solar farm near Willow, a 100kW project that is capable of providing enough energy to power 30 homes. https://t.co/DN1yBxqInw — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Happy belated birthday to a great friend and colleague who has more energy than most — my copilot on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, @Sen_JoeManchin! https://t.co/qxguGVr6Bo — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

While my days working in Alaska are totally different, here’s a look into a day in DC as your Senator. Thanks to @adndotcom multimedia journalist Marc Lester for sharing a snapshot of life in the Senate. https://t.co/4MkeA6lYVP — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Thanks to @NEHgov for supporting education, research, & preservation, & to @NEAarts for strengthening artistic & creative capabilities in Alaska. I will continue to support efforts to help preserve Alaska’s unique history, diverse languages & rich culture. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I have long been an advocate for the arts and humanities. Recently, in Anchorage, I had a chance to visit with Mary Ann Carter, head of the National Endowment for the Arts, and John Peede, head of the National Endowment for the Humanities. https://t.co/iYTtBsWN2D — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

But this is the reality for many communities across Alaska—particularly rural ones. I appreciate the @AnchorageMuseum for highlighting some of the challenges Alaskans face in terms of food security and cost of living. It’s something many may have never considered, otherwise. https://t.co/Zzn9JgxQOw — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

For parents that want healthy meals & clean water for their children— $10 for a case of soda as opposed to $26 for a case of water can be a difficult choice. For hunters, seeing Chester 30-gauge shotgun shells costing $22 in Anchorage & $132 in Utqiagvik can be shocking. https://t.co/DaUde1UqLz — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

One of my go-to stops in any rural community is to the local store to look at the prices of their products. Right now, there’s a very interesting display at the @AnchorageMuseum that compares the prices of groceries between Seattle, Anchorage, Fairbanks, Utqiagvik, and Unalaska. https://t.co/SqfhibqF8n — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

On Monday, August 26th, members of my staff will be in Larsen Bay hosting mobile office hours from 2:00pm – 4:00pm at Larson Bay School. I encourage those in the area to stop by and say hello! https://t.co/HJqqWh3E1W — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I spoke to what I’m doing at the federal level to support state and local folks on the ground working to better understand impacts on our fisheries, including securing funding for science to address risks from threats like marine debris and ocean acidification. https://t.co/2oolQvEXDr — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Thanks to @KRSA907 for hosting a substantive fisheries roundtable in Soldotna this week. This included a deep dive into the issue of marine debris, invasive and introduced species, as well as changing conditions and the effects on our fisheries. https://t.co/5TY8v51aK1 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

It was a valuable visit to see Station 1 and hear plans on how CES is working to better serve Alaska communities. Thanks to everyone at CES for your service to communities on the Kenai Peninsula! https://t.co/7Cl2be0Vsa — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

From wildfires to a busy tourist season, our firefighters and emergency responders have had a busy summer. In Soldotna, I visited Central Emergency Services (CES) to see their operations and assets as well as hear about their significant infrastructure needs. https://t.co/AhgRs3r1hS — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Yesterday Verne and I celebrated 32 years of marriage. Over three decades later, our adventures continue. We spent the day walking on the shores of Kachemak Bay, the spit in Homer & the boardwalk in Halibut Cove. Time together, outdoors in Alaska—doesn’t get any better than this! https://t.co/uwElhFhF7M — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Next Monday, members of my staff will be holding a Mobile Office in Kodiak from 10:00AM to 12:00PM at the Kodiak Post Office. For all who are able, I hope you’ll stop by to share your thoughts, ask any questions you may have, and get to know my staff. https://t.co/sjcU8TAlFn — PolitiTweet.org

I commend @NOAA and the @NOAADebris Program for their work to support clean waterways and healthy marine ecosystems by addressing this pervasive issue which is affecting so many of our coastal communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

In Alaska, marine resources provide sustenance, support recreation, & play a critical role in our economy. Unfortunately we’re seeing unprecedented amounts of plastic debris on our coastline, impacting marine environments as well as the Alaskans & wildlife that depend on them. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I'm encouraged by @NOAA’s announcement of a total of $2.7 million in grants being awarded to 10 states & territories, as well as 2 federally recognized tribes, to support marine debris removal & research, which will support debris clean-up efforts in AK. https://t.co/YQ3TU61FDo — PolitiTweet.org
