Love seeing Alaskans working to support their communities- especially when one of them is a former intern of mine. Congrats to Carlee Rizzo & these amazing young Alaskans on receiving awards as part of this year’s Summer of Heroes scholarship program. https://t.co/YrvkHLvVD8 — PolitiTweet.org

For folks planning to visit the Tanana Valley State Fair, I encourage you to stop in and chat with my staff, ask any questions you may have, and learn more about the services and opportunities my office offers. My staff will be at the fair until Saturday August 10th. https://t.co/aweW3Blkx9 — PolitiTweet.org

I was saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Alaskan Senator Chris Birch. My condolences to the Birch family, their friends, and their loved ones during this difficult time. Senator Birch's legacy of public service is deeply admired and won’t be forgotten. https://t.co/Ml5s6B51Y8 — PolitiTweet.org

As America’s focus on the #Arctic increases, so must our support for the @USCG. As those in uniform strive to ensure U.S. Arctic interests are prioritized, I'll continue to work at the federal level to help improve their ability to execute their missions. https://t.co/MyAWpPFNyF — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

As activity in the Arctic continues to grow & the conditions in the region continue to fluctuate the @USCG must be able to respond to both human & natural disasters & oversee activities such as fisheries, maritime, commercial & recreational traffic, & natural resource exploration — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

With the diminishing sea ice in the #Arctic, sea lanes are opening up and allowing for increased activity in the region. With these increased opportunities come new risks and challenges, many of which the @USCG will be tasked with addressing. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I recently introduced a bill to facilitate the equitable sharing of revenues from energy production in the nation’s Outer Continental Shelf, with a title written by @SenDanSullivan & I to establish a revenue sharing program for AK from our federal waters. https://t.co/UAeZIoh3Sx — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Revenue sharing has been a longstanding priority for many Alaskans & remains a matter of fairness & parity for us. With significant offshore resources & the willingness & ability to responsibly produce them, it's time to institute a framework that acknowledges our important role. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

In the words of Calvin Coolidge, "No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave." Today these words still ring true as we honor all the Purple Heart recipients for their service and sacrifice in defense of our freedom. #PurpleHeartDay https://t.co/i6sPrfxqld — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Stopped in at the Tanana Valley State Fair, with wonderful folks from the interior for great conversation, to support the numerous local businesses, & to enjoy the fair food (including tasty Alaskan-grown produce.) It’s truly some of the best of Alaska coming together. https://t.co/iBbBlEisje — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I commend the administration for taking swift action to address this incredibly pressing issue. I look forward to finding long-term solutions to avoid future law enforcement emergencies in rural Alaska. https://t.co/EYwyuR9yAR — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Following that visit, the @DOJ recently allocated $5M to be split among 20 different Alaskan Tribal villages to help address this public safety crisis. By increasing financial support for law enforcement in rural Alaska, we are putting the safety and well-being of Alaskans first. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I recently had the opportunity to host U.S. Attorney General Barr and Department of Justice officials in Napaskiak and Bethel to help them see and hear firsthand the critical law enforcement needs in Alaska Native villages. https://t.co/507oTtsIHL — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

This bill aims to level the playing field so that certain state entities that can access the loan guarantee program, bundle a number of smaller projects together, and make them a reality. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Currently, The Department of @Energy's loan guarantee program is tailored more toward large projects, which inadvertently shuts out the projects needed in many smaller and rural communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I recently introduced legislation to improve access to the Dept. of @Energy’s (DOE) Section 1703 loan guarantee program, to provide a new pathway for states to secure financing for projects that will reduce energy costs and lower greenhouse gas emissions. https://t.co/r3mKv7pWzl — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Today was a good discussion with a wide range of views, as well as an opportunity to elevate the conversation, recognizing that we all have separate and distinct roles but can work together to address these issues. For more info on the meeting, click here: https://t.co/7GsLtD5uZx https://t.co/mkf47VC5C0 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

We focused on educating the Commissioners from the @IJCsharedwaters about AK's transboundary watersheds, water quality monitoring, concerns Alaskans have on upstream mining activity in B.C. & actions made by Alaskans to engage with Canadian counterparts to raise such concerns. https://t.co/faqWGU56xC — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Thanks to everyone, including my colleague @SenDanSullivan, who participated in today’s roundtable discussion in Juneau on transboundary issues. https://t.co/KghWm1YeOe — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Peony growers in Homer were given a curveball when this summer’s heat wave triggered an early bud before the market was ready to buy. I’m proud of our peony farmers and the beautiful Alaskan grown flowers. https://t.co/8ihgxfwsCp — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I love sharing about Alaska’s “blooming” peony industry. I had the chance to see one of our amazing peony farms as part of a Field to Vase Peony Farm Tour. Betty Joslyn, owner of Joslyn Peonies in Homer chose to forgo retirement and experience life as a farmer. https://t.co/WuNtcoq7iO — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Our hearts break for the senseless violence that happened in El Paso and Dayton. It’s hard to piece together the words to describe how sickened I am over these hateful acts. This is not who we are as Americans. My prayers are with the victims, their family and loved ones. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

At the South Anchorage Farmers market this morning —lots of beautiful Alaskan grown veggies and flowers! https://t.co/FWyMF4DELH — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

For the region, herding reindeer is so valuable because not only are they a traditional source of affordable meat, they provide materials for arts & crafts that support the economy. Great to see young Alaskans learning about carrying on this tradition! #OnlyInAlaska — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

So excited to be back in Alaska for the upcoming state work period. Just landed — and heading to go on @KFQD with @radiostieren. Great to be home! — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I have started my process to vet the qualifications of Gene Scalia, nominee for Secretary of Labor. I look forward to hearing the views of Alaskans and having more substantial conversations with Mr. Scalia. https://t.co/xG09M44LET — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I look forward to continuing to work w/ the @TananaChiefs, @AVCPAlaska, & other AK stakeholders to strengthen public safety & justice in AK’s rural communities. https://t.co/Iu1ghXP15z — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

We discussed a range of initiatives to comprehensively address the issue of public safety, including legislation that would empower tribes w/ the tools they need to improve justice & law enforcement in their communities & protect Americans affected by family & domestic violence. — PolitiTweet.org
