Every single person who spoke raised concerns about upcoming cuts to Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) funding and how it will impact their organizations, services, employees, and the many Alaskans who rely on them. https://t.co/8veHu4OxsP — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

In Anchorage, I took part in roundtable discussion with a network of organizations who are working to serve victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse & other unthinkable crimes. https://t.co/Q4Yr80G9b5 — PolitiTweet.org

Glad to meet with @UA_System Interim President Pat Pitney and former Alaska Governor Sean Parnell in his new role as @UAAnchorage Chancellor. Their insight on the needs of the University is appreciated as I continue my work to support the future of higher education in Alaska. https://t.co/j9TOUPNSMT — PolitiTweet.org

Revenue local governments receive from this program helps them provide vital services, such as firefighting and police protection, construction of public schools and roads, and search-and-rescue operations. See the breakdown of payments to AK here: https://t.co/Od2tE6yN1C — PolitiTweet.org

.@Interior is distributing $32.2M to eligible local governments across Alaska through the Payment of Lieu of Taxes or PILT program. Through my role on the Interior-Environment Appropriations Subcommittee, I’ve worked to provide full funding for the PILT program. — PolitiTweet.org

Love seeing the great homecoming Alaskans gave Lydia Jacoby. We’re excited to watch you represent Alaska and the nation at the Summer Olympics in Tokyo! https://t.co/FxTmMMXe9O — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Proud that a recent study listed Alaska as one of the most patriotic states – #2 nationwide – touting our military engagement, volunteerism, civic engagement & more. 🇺🇸 https://t.co/KD6OWym4gE — PolitiTweet.org

Our bill integrates renewable energy development w/ values Alaska places on our fisheries, delivering cleaner power while reducing reliance on costly fuels like diesel. It includes provisions which will ultimately help bring small hydro projects in Alaska to construction. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

.@SenatorCantwell & I introduced a bill that would create new federal tax incentives to encourage safety, environmental & grid resiliency upgrades for hydropower dams. https://t.co/SEbD7Z9GJO — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Hydropower is Alaska’s largest source of clean, renewable energy and supplies 25% of the state’s electricity. Alaska has incredible opportunities for hydropower and this legislation helps tap into that potential, especially in many of our smaller communities. https://t.co/nlzXsPAGgO — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Thanks to all who worked with us to help make this a reality. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The @IndianCommittee held a roundtable focused on important infrastructure development in Native communities. Thank you to the tribal leaders & stakeholders for participating in these important discussions. https://t.co/ie01w9GT5A — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

My condolences to the family and loved ones of former US Senator Mike Gravel. From his service in the US Army to the Alaska Legislature and the US Senate, Mike Gravel dedicated his life to public service—not only to Alaska, but the nation. We thank him for his life of service. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

As I’ve worked with my colleagues on a bipartisan infrastructure framework, I’ve continued to make sure Alaska’s unique infrastructure are addressed—from ferries to broadband and even our lack of certain infrastructure. https://t.co/9AzIQDyFBx — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The Alaska Commission on Postsecondary Education can help. Check out this page for helpful tools, including the FAFSA form itself. https://t.co/tiqy9N7p6o — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form can qualify you for free money—federal, state, & other grants, the Alaska Performance Scholarship, the Alaska Education Grant, as well as Work Study. The deadline to file your FAFSA is June 30. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Proud to introduce the Advancing FASD Research, Services & Prevention Act. While the physical, mental, and behavioral impacts of FASD are incurable, we can push for policy initiatives to prevent it in the first place. Read more here: https://t.co/5yGW4iFsQx — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Unfortunately, FASD rates in Alaska are among the highest in the United States. It’s a heartbreaking reality, but the effects of prenatal exposure to alcohol and other substances can have a long-standing and devastating impact on children, their families & communities as a whole. https://t.co/OemMIzEo2V — PolitiTweet.org

The Rural and Frontier Telehealth Expansion Act takes steps to support Medicaid telehealth programs in rural states like Alaska and in states who lack adequate broadband availability. https://t.co/niv1JTNYJv — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Even prior to the coronavirus pandemic, Alaskans across the state knew the need and the value of telehealth services. That need only grew when so many aspects of our daily lives went virtual during the pandemic—which included seeing a doctor or medical professional. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Today in a 6-3 ruling, #SCOTUS confirmed Alaska Native Corporations as “Indian tribes” under the Indian Self-Determination & Education Assistance Act--affirming their eligibility for CARES Act tribal relief. Read more 🠲 https://t.co/ZgKTHl62y3 https://t.co/dYpOsPx5W5 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I’m also proud that we worked through hard negotiations and came to an agreement on meeting significant infrastructure needs in our country. This is a good day for Alaska and our nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Not only is it comprehensive in size and scope, but it’s is fully paid for and doesn’t increase taxes. I’ll be working hard in the next few weeks to write critical pieces of this legislation, but I’m proud to have a seat at this table to ensure that Alaska’s unique needs are met. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I am proud to be part of a small, bipartisan group who met with the President today to finalize terms of the historic infrastructure package that we have been working hard on. It’s everything from roads to rails, to bridges, ports and ferries, broadband, and water infrastructure. https://t.co/8Mhqrdi0yq — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Americans need to have faith in our institutions. They need to know that our elections are fair, that they are easy, and accessible for all, and we can’t instill that trust with a wholly partisan effort. https://t.co/ay3jHd151m — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The bill also contains provisions that are likely unconstitutional, such as requiring states to create redistricting commissions, limit or compel speech, and change how state chooses its electors to the Electoral College. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The proposed text creates a new structure of public financing of campaigns that matches small dollar donations on a six-to-one basis. I have concerns that anyone thinks it is a good idea to have even more money in politics. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The bill nationalizes our federal elections and the way is is being advertised—that we can’t count on states to do elections right or fairly—is a premise that I have a problem with. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

In case you missed it—here is my full speech where I outline my concerns with the election overhaul legislation before the Senate – the For the People Act. https://t.co/pd9bmpNrqv — PolitiTweet.org
