Lisa Murkowski: “The State of Alaska was compelled to stop the statewide assessments that were underway this year.”

Kyle brings extensive knowledge of both our state and our court system to the federal bench, having served the District of Alaska as a federal prosecutor and U.S. Magistrate Judge, a position he has held in Alaska for the past five years.

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.

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

This is an individual that is not only qualified for this position, he is ready to hit the ground running as a U.S. District Court judge.
