I loved bringing my summer interns to the Congressional Open House at the National Archives. It was a great opportunity for these young Alaskans to experience the @USNatArchives Museum and all the history it has to offer. https://t.co/8VDObwZamZ — PolitiTweet.org

Congress has worked to expand the authorities that federal land managers need for wildfire prevention. Now we expect the @ForestService and the @Interior Department to fully utilize their resources for fire prevention and active forest management. https://t.co/1GtFPCMNGj — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

These factors continue to compound, creating the perfect storm for longer, costlier, more damaging fire seasons. I chaired a Senate Energy Committee hearing to examine the wildfire outlook for 2019 and related management programs so we can combat these devastating fires. https://t.co/Cfvg6sHCf9 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Much of our forests are unhealthy & overstocked w/ excess fuels and the magnitude of disease & insect outbreaks can leave behind large swaths of hazard trees ready to ignite. Also, the changing climate is leaving our forest dryer and warmer and increasingly susceptible to fire. https://t.co/x9UJBuC6Jn — PolitiTweet.org

I joined @gillibrandny & many of our colleagues in support of the Military Justice Improvement Act that protects the rights of military sexual assault victims by requiring military professionals outside of the victim's chain of command to make the decisions regarding their case. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Far too many sexual assault victims serving in the military claim to have faced some sort of retaliation for reporting the crime. The current justice system is not protecting members of the military that fall victim to these heinous crimes. https://t.co/HvXGnGLuja https://t.co/BvOTcq4Aeu — PolitiTweet.org

It’s critical we have dedicated individuals who continue to progress their leadership abilities as we move towards a cleaner, more reliable energy future w/ natural gas as a critical component. I’m fortunate to represent a state whose bounty & whose ppl inspire a desire to lead. https://t.co/BsnYgeg67G — PolitiTweet.org

At the program’s luncheon, I spoke about my work as a Senator and a public servant and facilitating cooperative relationships in the workplace to get the best results for everyone. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The @aga_naturalgas’s Executive Leadership Development Program is a great opportunity for a group of 20 up and coming utility executives to enhance their leadership skills & further understand policy development in Washington, DC and at the state level. https://t.co/2NXTdZpAmb — PolitiTweet.org

Energy storage systems like this are key to our clean energy future. I was pleased to be in Cordova, joined by innovators from AK and @Energy for this ribbon-cutting, and commend Cordova’s dedication meeting its energy needs with clean, affordable & reliable #hydropower — PolitiTweet.org

I was proud to lead the effort to reauthorize & improve the 21st Century Community Learning Center program in 2015 & continue to support the funding these excellent programs need. Thank you to @afterschool4all and all the others who help families across the U.S. thrive. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

It was so exciting to see some of the projects that children participating in the 21st Century Community Learning Centers afterschool programs have come up with. One group designed a virtual reality headset that allows the wearer to hold a human heart and examine how it works! https://t.co/fIbdI7eHyp — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I was pleased to again join supporters of afterschool programs from across the country for the annual Afterschool for All Challenge Showcase, which highlights some of the innovative and challenging projects students engage in during after school. https://t.co/sfXkrQXEad — PolitiTweet.org

I'm proud to support of the Military Justice Improvement Act of 2019, which protects the rights of military sexual assault survivors by requiring military professionals outside of the victim's chain of command to make the decisions regarding their case. https://t.co/qH6Cu7DJjp — PolitiTweet.org

I’m proud to help lead legislation that will help expand the trauma-informed workforce and increase resources for communities in need. We must ensure that American children have the support and resources they need to live happy, healthy lives. https://t.co/qH6Cu7DJjp — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The impacts of such trauma can be reduced and even prevented by providing parents, schools, healthcare organizations, social service providers, and others with the training and tools they need to provide safe, stable, and nurturing environments for children. https://t.co/V15kJKEpZa — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Decades of research have established a link b/w a child’s exposure to trauma & its effect on neurological & behavioral development. Experiencing or witnessing events such as domestic violence or sexual abuse, can have significant & long-lasting impacts. — PolitiTweet.org

The town of Palmer exists today because of their perseverance & is still a community that is strongly rooted in agriculture. To celebrate their unique history, Palmer hosted their annual Colony Days event—a weekend filled w/ good food, fun activities & a whole lot of Palmer pride https://t.co/gqQBCcdxMK — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

In 1935, under President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal program, 200 families were relocated from the Midwest to the Palmer area. Each family was given 40 acres of land that they were expected to develop through farming and agriculture. — PolitiTweet.org

William was a great addition to the program—proud of all his hard work! — PolitiTweet.org

The Native Village of Eklutna, Knik Tribal Council & Chickaloon Village Tribal Council held their annual gathering last weekend in Palmer. Thanks to those who made this event possible, allowing for the sharing of traditional Native knowledge & supporting the health of Alaskans. https://t.co/vYFoeXQcae — PolitiTweet.org

Good to see the @EPA released updated guidance for Section 401 of the Clean Water Act to improve the water quality certification process, maintaining vital protections for our water resources while promoting responsible development of our energy resources. https://t.co/8iZvjSkJk8 — PolitiTweet.org

While in Cordova this weekend for the ribbon-cutting for the new energy storage system, I couldn’t help but be reminded of Alaska’s beauty everywhere I looked! https://t.co/Lwp8wZOzJ5 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Currently, the future of the Arctic is being largely determined by nations that are not part of the #Arctic. It’s important that we work to understand their interests, to help American truly engage in a level of cooperation and collaboration. #ArcticOpportunities — PolitiTweet.org

And the coffee shop, Kayak Café, is inside an old church but looks as hip as something in downtown Portland. These young women are not only strengthening the economy of Cordova but they’re also adding a fabulous modern touch to an already amazing community. https://t.co/R1Ka1HT5jO — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Alaskans love to keep things local! In Cordova, I visited w/ business owners Karen & Autumn Deaton who recently opened a new art studio & coffee shop. Miss Liberty, an AK-themed art line was initially marketed to commercial fisherwomen but has since grown to a much larger scope. https://t.co/mi1xUVRdiU — PolitiTweet.org

I was able to tour the Power Creek Hydro project and see a run-of-river hydropower station hard at work, and the new battery storage being integrated. Love seeing the progress Cordova is making toward maximizing its hydropower resources. #EnergyIsGood https://t.co/AX7f9FHUfb — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

While Cordova isn’t connected by road to any other Alaskan town, the community has relied on power generated from run-of-the-river hydropower stations & diesel generators. But Cordova has been working hard to harness clean, renewable energy & reduce its use of costly diesel fuel. https://t.co/ZgG8R3wNlZ — PolitiTweet.org
