By giving tribes the ability to access funds specifically designed for homeless assistance, this legislation is an important step towards ending the cycle of chronic homelessness plaguing so many Native communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

With my colleague @SenTinaSmith, I introduced legislation to make it possible for Tribes and tribally designated housing entities to access funding to combat homelessness and the public safety crisis in Alaska. https://t.co/jYmZLBIir8 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Inadequate and overcrowded housing are major contributors to homelessness in rural Alaska. Any effort to promote the safety and wellness of Alaska Natives must include housing for families, homeless youth, and people fleeing domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The Family Violence Prevention and Services Improvement Act of 2019 is just one piece of the puzzle when it comes to addressing the issue of domestic violence and assault, but it’s an incredibly important one. https://t.co/HUyZMSnK1F — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

AK Native women have reported rates of domestic violence up to 10x higher than in the rest of the U.S. and physical assault rates up to 12x higher. As we work to tackle these unacceptable statistics, FVPSA will help ensure victims & their children have the support they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Alongside @SenBobCasey I introduced the Family Violence Prevention and Services Improvement Act of 2019, which would enhance and expand support, protection, and prevention for Americans affected by family violence, domestic abuse, and dating violence. https://t.co/U96Shrj7rH — PolitiTweet.org

Through the IRT Newtok village relocation project, service members work w/ other entities to provide basic infrastructure in the new village of Mertarvik, including an access road to the solid waste site, building community roads & helping with the building of new homes. https://t.co/a48oxOMqiA — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

IRT is a military training platform which provides an opportunity for service members to enhance their military readiness while building civil-military partnerships and providing key services with lasting benefits to communities. https://t.co/BWWWiY7q2A — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The village of Newtok has been increasingly losing land, homes, and now village infrastructure due to coastal erosion. Thanks to those working to assist in the relocation of Newtok to Mertarvik – including the Innovative Readiness Training (IRT). — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I appreciate their attention and focus on Alaska, including the importance of the Arctic and our state’s strategic location to our national defense. Thankful that my members of my staff were able to participate in this valuable trip. https://t.co/dfrXRsXYbC — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Their trip focused on strategic planning for military installations in Alaska and to see firsthand issues affecting our state—such as climate change impacts and their relation to our nation’s defense. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Thanks to @usairforce chief scientist Dr. Richard Joseph, for leading a trip with the Air Force’s top scientists to Alaska this past week. https://t.co/vVmErYFmOb — PolitiTweet.org

I will always remember Ted as a larger than life individual whose passion and heart for Alaskans and our land was unwavering. Tomorrow, on Ted Stevens Day, I encourage Alaskans to “Get Out and Play” to honor his incredible legacy by enjoying all that our state has to offer. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I think about my friend and mentor Ted Stevens often and took time to reflect on his life and contribution after a recent visit to his gravesite at the National Arlington Cemetery. https://t.co/4QqhCD73f4 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

This bill capitalizes on the benefits of woody biomass as an energy resource by taking important steps to help Alaskans, in a cost-effective way, transition to more efficient, cleaner-burning wood heaters--a win for us & our environment. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Alongside my colleague @SenatorCarper I recently reintroduced the Wood Heaters Emissions Reduction Act which aims to improve indoor and outdoor air quality and encourage manufacturing job growth by advancing the deployment of cleaner burning wood stoves. https://t.co/U96Shrj7rH — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

It is time for the United States to be part of the Law of the Sea Treaty—to have a seat at the table, rather than watching from the outside hoping our interests are not diminished. I urge my colleagues in the Senate to ratify this treaty. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I recently introduced a resolution w/ Senator @maziehirono calling on the U.S. Senate to ratify the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), which lays out rights, responsibilities, and guidelines related to the world’s oceans. https://t.co/2ksQi7jQjs — PolitiTweet.org

Many may not be aware, but Alaska accounts for more than a third of our nation’s entire coastline. Likewise, the Arctic Ocean covers merely 3% of Earth’s surface, but accounts for over 25% of the world’s continental shelf area. — PolitiTweet.org

Alaskans have always been innovators, and we don’t just do it because we have to, but because we’re pioneers, we like breaking new trail. And yesterday there was good news from the Department of @Energy’s Office of Indian Energy, announcing grants for three Alaskan communities. https://t.co/EJ3439wFwe — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

In AK, we've already seen how new, innovative technologies can reduce our reliance on costly diesel fuel, but we have the potential for so much more. New technologies, whether renewables or microreactors, will be able to make a real difference in local economies and daily lives. https://t.co/mjy7pJTeOY — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Whether we are looking to bolster our energy supply or reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, innovation will need to be front & center & recognized as our best solution. Today I chaired a Senate Energy Cmte hearing on the importance of energy innovation to our success as a nation. https://t.co/2r2Ocxzeo3 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

My sincere gratitude to the @AKNationalGuard & all those who aided them, for evacuating 26 people & 2 dogs from the Rainy Pass Lodge to protect them from a wildfire in the area. Their unwavering heroism, selflessness, & commitment to protecting others is appreciated. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Today I spoke at an @ERACoalition briefing alongside @SenatorCardin regarding our bipartisan joint resolution, S.J.Res.6, which removes the deadline for ratification of the ERA. There should never be a time limit on women’s equality. #ERANow https://t.co/THP58LRNoN — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

While I’m very proud that Alaska was among the early adopters, having both ratified the ERA and amended the State’s Constitution to prohibit discrimination in 1972, it's important to recognize that nationally we are still one state from ratification. https://t.co/9NKdxToKGf — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Everyone should be treated equally under the law, but the U.S. Constitution does not currently guarantee women the same rights and protections as men. So far, the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) has been ratified by 37 states. #ERANow https://t.co/PSOet6KkOD — PolitiTweet.org

The new children’s show is developed through a group of Alaska Native advisors, elders, and six cast members that bring our state’s unique culture to life. Check out this article which introduces us those Alaskan voices! https://t.co/21uz4RPBe6 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Love that the new @PBSKIDS show @MollyOfDenali has the contribution of so many Alaskans, from scriptwriters & language advisers, to the voices behind the characters. For the 1st time, viewers can experience Alaska Native culture through the eyes of a 10-year-old Athabaskan girl. — PolitiTweet.org
