Thanks to my staff for celebrating my birthday with me a day early, and to my scheduler for making me her famous German chocolate cake (and for providing a “COVID safe” candle to blow out.) A great gift to celebrate in person versus last year’s zoom! https://t.co/hxz8n5loZz — PolitiTweet.org

This isn’t my usual route to work, but on a gorgeous Friday afternoon like this, I think it’s worth the detour. #NationalBikeToWorkDay 🚲 https://t.co/GyZefwnUGj — PolitiTweet.org

To learn more about how these funds are intended to help Alaskans get food secure, check out my recent Op-Ed. https://t.co/koP0EltYw5. — PolitiTweet.org

The Alaska Division of Agriculture is inviting 1,926 Alaskans to submit formal applications for funding from the Micro-Grants for Food Security program, which I created & funded to help Alaskans grow more healthy food in their communities. More info here: https://t.co/ImZeCG6Vhp — PolitiTweet.org

Alaskans have been leading the way in the U.S. for #COVID19 vaccine distribution rates. Let’s keep up that momentum! #WeCanDoThis   For Alaskans— to make an appointment or to find a vaccine distribution site near you, visit Alaska DHHS Website here: https://t.co/XaGTt7Qfle — PolitiTweet.org

I remain optimistic that my bill will allow Alaskans to have some semblance of a tourism season in #Alaska. https://t.co/1wsFMtqod3 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

They shared their anxiety and worry with me about what the future of the industry and entire communities would be if we missed another entire cruise ship season. https://t.co/lyq6lXA9Cm — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Throughout the pandemic, I’ve been in close contact with Alaskans—from small business owners and industry workers to community leaders and state officials. https://t.co/UPgCUjrpC1 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I’m even more encouraged to hear directly from Alaskans about how this legislation provides hope. https://t.co/tJ0w7nA5s3 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I’m encouraged that my bill, the Alaska Tourism Restoration Act, which provides a path forward for Alaska’s tourism industry, is on its way to the President to be signed into law. https://t.co/ROnTWkBDyY — PolitiTweet.org

Urban was fond of saying “In my dictionary, two words don’t exist: can’t & impossible.” Urban enjoyed a full & successful life by following that philosophy. I'm saddened by his passing, but equally humbled by his legacy. It's an honor to have known Urban & to call him my friend. https://t.co/DiDsga5V7o — PolitiTweet.org

Alaska lost a legend with the passing of Fairbanks pilot Urban Rahoi, who turned 102 this past January. There’s not much that Urban didn’t do. He was a WWII veteran, AK pioneer, hunting guide, aviator, snowmobiler, entrepreneur, statesman, and an extraordinary story teller. https://t.co/X2ldgVZYVE — PolitiTweet.org

My bill with @SenDanSullivan and @repdonyoung, the Alaska Tourism Restoration Act: Passed the U.S. Senate ✔️ Passed the U.S. House ✔️ On the way to be signed into law by the President ✔️ — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

This is a huge victory, but getting this bill across the finish line represents more than the determination of the Delegation—this is a testament to the strength and resilience of all Alaskans. Thanks to everyone who helped create the momentum needed to forge a path forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The Alaska Delegation worked with stakeholders and industry leaders across the state to brainstorm all our options. We were in coordination with the Alaska State Legislature who backed our efforts through a resolution of support. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The Alaska Tourism Restoration Act provides a path forward for the return of large cruise ships to Alaska, which is critical to providing economic opportunity for communities who rely on tourism. https://t.co/71tMY7doWN https://t.co/U6ejSKhnzS — PolitiTweet.org

Today was a good reminder of the role of the @ArcticCouncil, an entity that works towards cooperation and sustainability of the environment, as well as the economy. This ministerial was encouraging as we work to keep the Arctic as a zone of peace & a place of good cooperation. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

We just wrapped up the 12th ministerial meeting of the @ArcticCouncil—the governing body of the Arctic Council that’s been up and operational for 25 yrs. At the ministerial, a declaration was signed by all of the 8 arctic ministers. https://t.co/ToiEtiUt6l — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Big news for Alaska! My legislation, the Alaska Tourism Restoration Act—which provides a temporary fix to grant cruise ships the opportunity to travel between the states of Washington and Alaska—will now head to the President’s desk to be signed into law. https://t.co/Cknwp32965 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I met w/ Jim DeHart, U.S. Coordinator for the Arctic Region & U.S. Senior Arctic Official Meredith Rubin, who coordinate @StateDept engagement on Arctic issues. It’s important the U.S. maintains strong engagement & participation in #Arctic policy negotiations on the global stage. https://t.co/PNss5ow8O7 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I’ve met with a so many passionate people who are dedicated to working cooperatively to care for those that call the Arctic region home, for our shared environment, for the shared food source, and more. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

At @ArcticCouncil I was encouraged by the information conveyed to me by fellow members of the official U.S. delegation and delegation members of other Arctic nations. I was especially encouraged by the wide array of meetings I have been able to take part in. https://t.co/lObkuDIKAr — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

It is no secret I'm passionate about the #Arctic. I have consistently stressed that the U.S. as an Arctic nation, should strengthen its role in the region and as a global leader. I’m proud of the work our country has done at the @ArcticCouncil over the years. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

It’s inspiring to be part of this meeting—to see Arctic nations come together to focus on issues of mutual interest and concern, demonstrating that we can work together to maintain the Arctic as a region of peace. https://t.co/tiiwX69dQ4 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I’m at the @ArcticCouncil Ministerial meeting in Iceland with @SecBlinken, a high-level forum of #Arctic nations to promote cooperation and coordination in the region. https://t.co/baz91Auw9q — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I’ve asked Secretary Haaland & Interior what deficiencies are in need of correction & for additional details on how they plan to prioritize Native veterans’ selections with the withdrawals still in place. https://t.co/062azXYdqz — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I disagree with the characterization that there were “defects” or a lack of consultation in the planning process. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Their plan includes government-to-government consultations with federally recognized Alaska Tribes and Alaska Native Corporations over what Interior cited as “defects” in the decision-making process to open the lands. — PolitiTweet.org
