In 2014, 20-year-old Alaskan, Breanna Moore, was murdered by her boyfriend. Her murder was more than an isolated tragedy, it represents a pervasive and devastating issue that is impacting young men and women throughout Alaska and the rest of the United States. https://t.co/Nk6ieRzkNB — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to the @AKNationalGuard for a successful rescue of a pilot and passenger who made an emergency crash landing in the Susitna River. Thank you for what you do to save lives and keep Alaskans safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Alongside the rest of the Alaska Congressional Delegation and Governor Dunleavy, I’ve continued to raise Alaska’s unique challenges with regards to Canada border restrictions and have proposed reasonable solutions. Today’s announcement is long awaited news. — PolitiTweet.org

We discussed a program they are looking to stand up to help in intervention—using a wilderness-based therapy approach—to focus on recovery for youth human trafficking survivors. I commend their commitment to end human trafficking and help survivors from across Alaska. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I had a meaningful conversation w/ Youth Advocates of Sitka—to speak about not only the services that are provided to young people who are homeless, runaways, and those struggling w/ substance abuse issues, but also the reality that young people are involved in human trafficking. https://t.co/1MTD0YMZDO — PolitiTweet.org

These funds will enable young people in Cordova and Sitka to have hands-on opportunities to grow their own locally-grown produce that will be served in their schools. Learning how to grow food and having more fresh, nutritious produce – a win-win. — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to Cordova’s Farm to School partnership and to the Sitka School District and Sitka Tribe of Alaska for winning federal Farm to School Grants! https://t.co/a02axR8giY — PolitiTweet.org

I’m working on Alaska priorities like energy, ports, roads, and our Alaska Marine Highway System—and making sure we don’t forget about more remote, less traditional, but vital infrastructure pieces in places like Alaska. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I’m continuing to work with my colleagues on building an infrastructure proposal that will make investments to allow our communities to be successful and thrive. https://t.co/Y8FytU0J3x — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

In Sitka, I saw firsthand how an infrastructure proposal might impact the region as a whole. I met w/ community leaders to visit infrastructure projects such as the Green Lake hydro generation plant & discussed importance of ensuring the community has reliable hydropower. https://t.co/2R2ED7coyj — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

As much of the focus in the US Senate right now is on infrastructure, I continue to work on Alaska priorities like energy, ports, roads, and our Alaska Marine Highway System. I'm talking w/ Alaskans about new projects and existing infrastructure. https://t.co/UOUHYFC9Gi — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I joined Sec. of @Energy Jennifer Granholm to announce funding from the DOE Office of Indian Energy to support energy technology for American Indian & Alaska Native communities, including funding for seven tribes in Alaska.

We were successful in passing the Alaska Tourism Restoration Act, providing a path for a return of cruise ships & passengers they bring to AK. For our small, tourism reliant communities their business makes the difference between keeping their doors open or shuttering completely. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Tourism touches so many industries across our state – it’s jobs and livelihoods. With Alaskans having missed out on the '20 season, I’ve been working hard w/ the rest of the AK delegation to bring tourism back to our state. https://t.co/pfHVnT6f4d — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

It was encouraging to hear how federal programs have helped them get through the last year & efforts they are making to reengage. We had discussions about the success we had w/ Alaska Tourism Restoration Act providing the opportunity to see more tourists by way of cruise ship. — PolitiTweet.org
