America has long lagged in icebreaking capacity, leaving us behind as our allies and adversaries alike continue to outpace us in Arctic assets and infrastructure. That’s why I’ve spent the past twenty years pushing to expand our icebreaker fleet, and why I’m so encouraged by the

While few details have been shared about Russell Vought’s latest layoffs, there is no question this is poorly timed and yet another example of this administration’s punitive actions toward the federal workforce. The termination of federal employees in a shutdown will further hurt

Chairman @lisamurkowski released the following statement after the U.S. Senate confirmed Mr. William “Billy” Kirkland, to serve as Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs within the Department of the Interior:

We are all breathing a sigh of relief that Israel and Hamas have agreed to terms for the release of all remaining hostages, an initial withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, and the increased delivery of much-needed aid. These are important first steps toward ending this

I want to thank the Alaska Division of Homeland Security and Management as well as local and tribal organizations for their hard work to keep Alaskans safe during the severe weather impacting communities in western Alaska. Please continue to follow the instructions of local

Today, I received word that the Department of Transportation secured $41 million in additional funding to sustain the Essential Air Service program during the government shutdown through the end of October. I’m very grateful that Transportation Secretary Duffy was receptive when

The government shutdown was not caused by individual federal employees, and they should not be forced to suffer the consequences. Congress has clearly stipulated that all federal employees – whether furloughed or excepted – will receive back pay following a shutdown, and this one

Those who live in the Aleutians and Southeast know the benefits of EAS to help facilitate travel for medical care or work, and to maintain local economies.

Essential Air Service is just that— an essential lifeline for so many in Alaska and across rural America, helping to move people and deliver necessities. https://t.co/spBqtpTV3Y

Tomorrow at 10am, I’ll be on Talk of Alaska! For those in Anchorage, please call 907-550-8422, and Alaskans statewide can reach us at 1-800-478-8255. I look forward to hearing from you! https://t.co/f5ZXuYe0zG

I’m saddened by the loss of Brenda Itta-Lee — a trailblazer, advocate, and the first Alaska Native woman elected to the House of Representatives in the Alaska State Legislature. Her legacy of leadership, culture, and service will forever inspire the North Slope and Alaskans

I had the opportunity to visit with some wonderful advocates living with ALS yesterday, including @RealEricDane. Being present with them as they shared their stories was uplifting and offered a chance to reflect on what we’ve been able to accomplish in the fight against ALS,

Alaska is stronger when our communities are connected, and public broadcasting is at the heart of the effort.   https://t.co/fnSXD4l7jY

This evening, the Senate voted on a continuing resolution to keep the federal government open through late November. I supported that legislation because it would have provided more time to work on appropriations bills, but its failure means that a harmful shutdown will begin at

The Department of Justice has long been insulated from presidential administrations to protect public trust in the rule of law. But that independence is called into question when overt political pressure from the White House leads to unusual personnel changes and criminal charges

After nearly two decades of tireless advocacy, the announcement was finally made: Alaska’s first state-operated Veterans Cemetery will be constructed in Interior Alaska. I was proud to help ensure that this grant was fully funded through the appropriations process, knowing that
