Our foreign mineral dependence is our Achilles’ heel for competitiveness, for manufacturing, and for geopolitics. And in my view it’s way past time to address it. — PolitiTweet.org
Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski
So why is this a problem? Whether we realize it or not, minerals are the foundation of our modern society. We use them in just about everything. But our foreign dependence threatens our national security & is driving jobs & industries to other countries. — PolitiTweet.org
Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski
The concentration of our mineral supply– who we buy it from– is also a problem. Of the 48 minerals I mentioned, China is a primary supplier for 26 of them. China is actually mentioned 375 times in the @USGS 204-page mineral commodity summaries report. — PolitiTweet.org
Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski
In 1997, we imported 100% of 11 minerals & 50% or more of another 26. Now, a little over 20 yrs later, our dependence has almost doubled. According to the @USGS, last yr we imported at least 50% of 48 minerals, including 100% of 18 of them. So, we’re going the wrong direction. — PolitiTweet.org
Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski
I’m currently chairing a Senate Energy Committee hearing to examine the importance of achieving mineral security and to discuss two bills including my legislation, the American Mineral Security Act. Watch Live→ https://t.co/ZPGj4GLnvB — PolitiTweet.org

I wish for a speedy recovery for the injured and thank the search and rescue teams for their efforts to find those still missing. In times of tragedy, I know Alaskans, including the aviation community, will come together and support those involved any way that we can. — PolitiTweet.org

Our hearts go out to Southeast community and all those involved in the two-plane collision near Ketchikan —a terrible tragedy. My sincerest condolences are will the families of the deceased as they grieve the loss of their loved ones. — PolitiTweet.org

He worked tirelessly on behalf of Alaskan Natives on issues such as subsistence and understood that the welfare of all Alaskans came first. My thoughts and prayers are with Caryl, their family, and friends during this difficult time. Bill will be greatly missed. — PolitiTweet.org
Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski
Bill was a staunch advocate for education, senior services & a balanced and growing economy. As Co-Chairman of the House Finance Cmte, he knew how to make a deal & how to keep a deal. He worked to ensure the responsible development and protection of Alaska’s land and resources. — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday Alaska lost a great champion and leader, former Alaska House Representative & Saxman Mayor, Bill Williams, who passed away at the age of 75. I was honored to serve alongside Bill in the State House and even more honored to call him a friend. https://t.co/FRhkLrOvw2 — PolitiTweet.org

Many thanks to the brave members of the @USCG who saved the lives of 4 people that had to abandon ship in Alaska’s Aleutian Chain, just south of Atka Island, after colliding with a rock. The Coast Guard’s hard work & quick response is deeply appreciated. #MilitaryAppreciation — PolitiTweet.org

That’s why I joined @SenDanSullivan, @SenDuckworth & @SenBlumenthal in introducing the Funeral Honors for Veterans Act, ensuring those who've gone above & beyond in service to the U.S. have the opportunity to be considered for full military funeral honors. https://t.co/N5LGbCpDqb — PolitiTweet.org
Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski
But as it stands, there are eligibility requirements that disqualify brave military service members, such as the late Navy Chief Petty Officer Sharp of Palmer, from receiving full honors at his funeral. This is unreasonable and unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org
Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski
Every day American soldiers, sailors, and airmen put their lives on the line in the defense of freedom and prosperity for all. These brave men and women in uniform deserve to be honored and recognized for their service to this nation. — PolitiTweet.org

I'll continue to push my legislation, the Not Invisible Act, which aims to address the crisis of missing, murdered, & trafficked Native people by engaging law enforcement, tribal leaders, federal partners, & service provider & improving great coordination across federal agencies. https://t.co/yX8pBhO13K — PolitiTweet.org

The Barefoot Mile, the largest human trafficking awareness event in AK, garnered hundreds of individuals who walked barefoot to raise awareness on human trafficking. Proud that so many Alaskans walked in solidarity w/ children in poverty-- the most vulnerable to trafficking. https://t.co/9HcFw8kTwZ — PolitiTweet.org

I went to Shanghai to take part in the Arctic Circle China. I had the opportunity to represent the U.S. and to share our nation’s vision of the arctic’s future. We need to ensure there is a continued focus of cooperation, collaboration, and respecting the people that live there. https://t.co/uxchrfoaOn — PolitiTweet.org

Amber’s project brings life to the statistics we read on paper & is a stark reminder of the urgency needed to combat this issue. Through my legislation such as Savanna’s Act & the Not Invisible Act, I will continue fighting for women like those included in Amber’s project. — PolitiTweet.org

Amber Webb from Dillingham, AK has created a powerful art piece to raise awareness about the terrible epidemic of missing murdered Indigenous women. It displays the faces of many indigenous women & girls, shedding light on the severity of this crisis & the impact across Alaska. — PolitiTweet.org

ATEC Marine Construction, owned by Steve Attleson (a 3rd generation boat builder) is an Alaska-based company that specializes in crafting heavily-constructed, high-quality, aluminum boats. https://t.co/kFA5jEdFFP — PolitiTweet.org
Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski
ATEC also constructs docks & trailers for large vehicles, vessels, & snow machines. I’m proud to know AK has businesses like ATEC to provide local jobs, support Alaska’s economy, & ensure tough Alaskans have the gear to work & play in a tough environment. #SmallBusinessWeek https://t.co/Xydzne9XHO — PolitiTweet.org

They can either sell & manage profit or they can have Coyote Trail Farm & Mill just process the fiber for them. And this benefits Alaskans, too, as it allows access to high quality, freshly harvested fiber for purchase by businesses across AK. A great Alaskan small business! https://t.co/rb3gWOzWkH — PolitiTweet.org
Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski
They're known for building direct relationships w/ local herders or villagers on Nunivak Island, who harvest & gather the fiber needed for making yarn. Because Coyote Trail Farm & Mill builds these direct relationships, herders & villagers have greater control over their product. https://t.co/dxhp4SpAoc — PolitiTweet.org
Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski
The Coyote Trail Farm & Fiber Mill, owned by Kate Wattum and her father Ben Wattum, is locally owned and operated and is Alaska’s only commercial fiber mill, making yarn to be sold to local businesses. #SmallBusinessWeek https://t.co/RGPGwiDwgM — PolitiTweet.org
