Following the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Native Women, I joined a bipartisan, bicameral group of 16 of my colleagues in a letter asking the Government Accountability Office to conduct a study on the crisis. https://t.co/QYrcj97WTM — PolitiTweet.org

.@cdnfl continues to uphold its founders’ vision to provide hospitality that allows visitors to fully experience the wild nature of @DenaliNPS. Sitting in the heart of Denali, the view of our nation’s tallest peak is hard to beat—offering a true Alaskan adventure! https://t.co/jKlejDNSXc — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

For a state with such jaw-dropping views, it’s no surprise that tourism is such a large contributor to Alaska’s economy and one I’m proud to support. In recognition of #SmallBusinessWeek, I want to highlight a family-owned wilderness lodge, Camp Denali. https://t.co/B19A4Xc7Ca — PolitiTweet.org

One example is Beth Van Sandt of Homer who turned her passion for gardening into a career by creating Scenic Place Peonies, one of the latest producers of fresh cut peony stems from mid-July through September and holds a Certified Naturally Grown certificate. https://t.co/KqN1zvfgAw — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Our long summer days and cool growing season has contributed to peonies becoming a blooming business (pun intended) for small business owners in the state. In recognition of #SmallBusinessWeek, I’m proud to share about the success of the peony industry in Alaska. https://t.co/LHIra2ad3X — PolitiTweet.org

It’s not a sight you see every day! 26 tractors hit the road in Palmer for “Drive Your Tractor to Work Day”—an effort organized by Arthur Keyes, Glacier Valley Farm & Alaska Farm Land Trust to raise awareness of the importance of farming & to kick off the season in the Mat-Su. https://t.co/uJ6n8VSzFP — PolitiTweet.org

We must ensure that we’ve got adequate funding in place to build out the shoreside infrastructure that we’re going to need and that we have a fleet of #Arctic capable ships to address our country's Arctic priorities. https://t.co/qFxe8GF4qi — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

In a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Appropriations Subcommittee hearing to consider the FY20 budget request for the @DHSgov, I questioned DHS Acting Secretary Kevin McAleenan on the development of @USCG assets, including Polar Security Cutters and shoreside infrastructure. https://t.co/fwmlbetDxp — PolitiTweet.org

Owners Jeanne Kitayama and Paul Wheeler are also doing their part in reducing what goes to the landfill, by offering up the brewery’s spent grain (the by-product of the brewing process) for a local reindeer herd as well as to farmers to use for compost. https://t.co/kbT18sditH — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

To kick off #SmallBusinessWeek I'm highlighting some Alaska businesses who are driving innovation & helping grow the economy. Haines Brewing Company knows that #EnergyIsGood & is harnessing solar energy to run their chillers. Right now they have 16 solar panels & 32 more to come! https://t.co/7FRnGFEdyW — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I am pushing to advance my legislation that paves the way for greater collaboration and data collection between federal agencies, law enforcement, and elected tribal officials to not only understand the extent of the issues, but in developing methods to end these horrible crimes. https://t.co/lvxOanwz4t — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

By raising awareness of this epidemic —by giving these women their faces, names, and by telling their stories, we are shining a light on the problem and giving hope. https://t.co/cR0raxqasX — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The Senate passed a resolution designating today, May 5, as the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Native Women. https://t.co/2KQEE56KOQ — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Thank you to all the Alaskans who came out to support the veterans returning from the Last Frontier Honor Flight. A fitting tribute and welcome home for these heroes! https://t.co/QX5oegVcIh — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Words can’t describe how humbling it was to be with these Alaskan veterans who were in Washington, DC on the Last Frontier Honor Flight. It was an incredible honor to meet these veterans at the memorials built in their honor. We are forever grateful for their service! https://t.co/epOSAyXfXd — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

It was incredibly heartwarming to share their experiences and history of all they’ve seen during their trip. Giving them our thanks and appreciation is a reminder of what we need to show our veterans day in and day out. https://t.co/8e4HdB8wN1 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

It was such an honor to greet twenty-two Alaskan veterans here in DC as part of the Last Frontier Honor Flight. These veterans served our nation in WWII, Vietnam War and Korea War, including serving in the Alaska Territorial Guard. https://t.co/H0COilqy5X — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

During the hearing, I also asked @secnav76 about the Navy’s interest in a deep-water port in the Bering Sea and he responded that having a deep-water port, such as in Nome, would be an advantage in the region. https://t.co/YacmWpD3Fa — PolitiTweet.org

The @USNavy are looking to take advantage of cold-weather training in Alaska and utilizing our great training areas. #ArcticOpportunities https://t.co/2psU1lGdKR — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

With the increased activity we are seeing in the #Arctic, including other nation’s that are clearly not Arctic nations, the need for the military to pursue its significant and evolving opportunities in the far north region has never been greater. https://t.co/Rn15Jb0mUI — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

During a Defense Appropriations Subcommittee hearing to consider the Fiscal Year 2020 budget request for the @USNavy and @USMC, I questioned military leaders on what plans the branches have for accomplishing strategic objectives in the #Arctic region. https://t.co/Ui4Pt3azsg — PolitiTweet.org

I have introduced the American Mineral Security Act, a bipartisan bill that takes a comprehensive approach to rebuilding our domestic mineral supply chain. Unless we take significant steps, we're at risk of ceding major economic drivers to other countries. https://t.co/WHjk6WiydQ — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Last year we imported at least 50 percent of 48 minerals, including 100 percent of 18 of them. That should worry everyone, particularly because it is happening at the same time that demand, for everything from graphite and lithium to cobalt and nickel, is about to skyrocket. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I recently spoke at the Benchmark Minerals Summit on our foreign mineral dependence. The significance of foreign oil dependence is widely understood, but our foreign mineral dependence is equally – if not more – serious. https://t.co/D9cy5HaB39 — PolitiTweet.org

Announcement for all Alaskans impacted by the November 30th earthquake: Only 1 month left to register w/ @fema for disaster assistance - deadline is midnight on Friday, May 31. If you believe you should be awarded more for foundation damage, appeal now! https://t.co/50rHCp0gul — PolitiTweet.org

Our bipartisan legislation will ensure the federal government finally fulfills its obligation to address the back-end of the fuel cycle. I thank my colleagues for once again coming together to lead on this important issue. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

As we make the next generation of advanced nuclear reactors a reality, we must end our country’s stalemate on nuclear waste. This week I reintroduced the Nuclear Waste Administration Act w/ @SenAlexander and @SenFeinstein. https://t.co/Qw4neBpo1k https://t.co/de8AqIbVWi — PolitiTweet.org
