Lisa Murkowski: “In Alaska we don't seem to have, at least with certain of our fisheries we don't seem to have the levels of mercury.”

If a federal facility is going to be demolished, it cannot be without congressional oversight here.

Where there’s opportunities to put certain guardrails in our spending bills — there are tools, there are mechanisms — we have to be diligent to it.

Alaska is a cornerstone of American defense; investments like this from the Coast Guard are critical as we work to improve infrastructure on bases across the state to maintain our national security.

I join Alaskans in condolences as we learn of the plane crash in Cape Newenham today.
