@rasmuson @ANSEP_AK I have been lucky to know Ed for most of my life. I was a young girl living in Wrangell when he began his banking career there, and he has been a close family friend ever since. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

After he retired from banking, Ed grew the @rasmuson Foundation, where he continued to empower Alaska to be more independent & self-sustaining. He spent the past few decades giving back to people & communities in big and small ways, from the @ANSEP_AK to a playground in Yakutat. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The passing of Ed Rasmuson is a loss for all of us. Ed had a heart the size of Alaska, and dedicated his life to the state he loved so dearly. https://t.co/070rJ4z1G1 — PolitiTweet.org

The completion of the Gustavus intertie demonstrates the capabilities of renewable energy in Alaska. I’m proud to have played a leading role in making this a reality. https://t.co/gpEyupqk5F — PolitiTweet.org

Despite the challenges we face, there are many good reasons to be hopeful and optimistic in 2022. I’m going to get to work this year by continuing to fight for Alaska’s economy and resources. https://t.co/EjZ3Y5ou0T — PolitiTweet.org

#OTD in 1959, Alaska was admitted into the Union, becoming not just the 49th state, but also the largest—almost 2.5x bigger than Texas! I may be biased, but in my opinion, Alaska has been the best state for 63 years and counting. https://t.co/LvcNNi8cad — PolitiTweet.org

Thousands of Alaskans across Southcentral are without power due to intense winds. Thank you to all the responders working to restore power, clear the roads, and help folks in need. https://t.co/ueVecWfcbL — PolitiTweet.org

Even in a tough year, the strength of bipartisanship brought significant achievements in 2021—& will deliver benefits to Alaska & the US for a long time to come. https://t.co/p5rzq9Ypp6 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I had a productive meeting with Fairbanks North Star Borough Mayor Bryce Ward, on addressing the challenges they face in meeting the housing needs laid out by the United States Air Force, including the inbound service members of the F-35 and KC-135 missions on Eielson AFB. https://t.co/bVmPNfuk6Y — PolitiTweet.org

Verne and I send our prayers to Senator Reid’s wife, Landra, and his entire family. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I served with Harry Reid in the Senate for many years. While we may have had different political views, he was a leader who never forgot his roots, coming from a small, rural town in Nevada to eventually serving as the leader of the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Thanks to the efforts of @AKNationalGuard Airmen—including pararescue Airmen—for a successful rescue of a pregnant woman near Bethel. Their teamwork and assist with local medical professionals are to be commended. Thank you for all you do to help Alaskans and save lives! — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

.@POTUS signed my bill w/ Sen. @ChrisCoons—ACT for ALS Act into law. This bill will fund essential research into fast-progressing rare neurodegenerative diseases & give early access to promising investigational therapies for patients suffering from them. This bill is about hope. https://t.co/Tly0VnSltK — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I was glad to welcome the Secretary of the @usairforce, Frank Kendall III, to the Interior. It was good to have Secretary Kendall in Alaska to help him better understanding what is happening in the region, but equally significant was the appreciation he shared for our Airmen. https://t.co/C7bQHw9pMS — PolitiTweet.org

Alaskans: From my family to yours—Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. https://t.co/eCKGwiJ4Vw — PolitiTweet.org

In 1891 Salvation Army Captain Joseph McFee started the tradition of the Salvation Army’s red kettle in an effort to raise money for hungry individuals in San Francisco. This week my staff and I got to carry on that tradition in Anchorage by ringing the bell for @AKSalvationArmy. https://t.co/iO0kFZ1Ha9 — PolitiTweet.org

I recognize that the time between allocation and distribution has been frustrating and long, but I’m encouraged to know that those checks are officially hitting the mailboxes of hardworking Alaskans. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I worked hard to make direct assistance available to subsistence, commercial, and charter fishery participants, processors, fishery-related businesses and fishery-dependent communities that have been negatively affected by the economic and other impacts of COVID-19. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

This week $50 million in fishery assistance will be disbursed from CARES Act funding to Alaska’s commercial harvesters, sport fishing charters & seafood processors. https://t.co/Ig6PiiJzm5 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I’m calling on @SecDebHaaland to visit King Cove to see the need to protect local residents’ health and safety as soon as possible. The Secretary must recognize this and act now, because King Cove needs this life-saving road more than ever. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

It is simply unconscionable that the federal government has failed to protect these Alaskans’ health and safety, especially in the midst of a global pandemic that has made emergency medical access all the more critical. https://t.co/AZvvYzcDoE — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Today marks 8 years since Sally Jewell rejected a short, one-lane, gravel, life-saving road needed to connect King Cove, AK to the all-weather airport in nearby Cold Bay. A total of 157 medevacs have occurred in King Cove since that awful decision. — PolitiTweet.org

I was great to be in beautiful Fairbanks recently by the Chena River to appreciate the Winter Solstice sunset at 2:39PM. At 3 hours & 41 minutes of daylight, that was the shortest day of the year. Now we start gaining a little more sunlight every day! #WinterSolstice https://t.co/p1qHwgYdbo — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I made it a priority early on with this administration to elevate the issue of H-2B visas—not only for a need to raise the cap, but for a long-term solution. I thank the administration for making this a priority. https://t.co/FTcZQojxDt — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

.@DHSgov & @USDOL announced that a joint temporary final rule will be implemented to ensure an additional 20k H-2B temporary nonagricultural worker visas are made available nationwide for FY2022. This is significant for Alaska. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Great to be in beautiful Fairbanks today by the Chena River to appreciate the Winter Solstice sunset at 2:39PM. At 3 hours and 41 minutes of daylight, this was the shortest day of the year, but tomorrow we start gaining a little more sunlight every day! Happy Solstice, everyone! https://t.co/QtFmFIAdQh — PolitiTweet.org

Hoping all my fellow Alaskans are safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I took part in #BringBackTheLight, an event led by @Alaska_DHSS to show gratitude for our fellow Alaskans & to remember those who have lost their lives or a loved one this year. Together, Alaskans across the state stepped outside in solidarity to shine a light. I’m #WithYouAlaska https://t.co/TDvP8E9jCr — PolitiTweet.org
