I still wear my write-in wristband. It used to be plastic, but my husband turned it into gold.
— Lisa Murkowski
I am not looking for a pound of flesh from Sally Jewell.
I don't pass the Tea Party's purity test.
To most Alaskans, Clinton is remembered as being the one individual who has shut Alaska down by vetoing ANWR when we successfully moved it through the Congress.
What I look at is, do you represent the values of the state of Alaska? Do you represent the people here in terms of what it is that they need, they hope for, what they hope for their future? And Joe Miller simply does not represent that.
From 2002-2008, Planned Parenthood received $342 million in federal taxpayer money through Title X funding alone. With these funds, Planned Parenthood has provided women throughout the U.S. with important family planning and contraceptive services as well as screening for breast and cervical cancers for low-income women.
I believe when there are so many forces pulling our society apart, we need more commitment to marriage, not less.
We do not have the transportation infrastructure that all you in the lower 48 have. We don't have energy grids that tie us in.
You shouldn't say, 'Well, we cannot go there,' before we even had the conversation.
I am working for Alaska's best interests.
Think about how our country was built. The greatness came from our diversity; the greatness came from individuals with different perspectives coming together.
In order to represent the state, you've got to be in the state.
I am not one of those who wants Obama to fail. If he does well, that means the country's doing well.
Whether it was his ability to turn around the Massachusetts economy or turn around businesses in the private sector, Mitt Romney has demonstrated the leadership that we need in the White House to get the country on the right track.
We need to face it, as a nation we have a reliance on petroleum.
Freedom comes from strength and self-reliance.
Statutory authority to improve fuel economy has existed for 35 years at the Transportation Department, and it still exists today.
People think that every day we pass monumental legislation. Oftentimes, the most important thing that you have done that day is help a family with a visa.
Alaskans deserve a fighter in the United States Senate who will always stand up for Alaska, who understands our great potential, who has the experience, respect and seniority to accomplish that. I am that senator.
Our hunting areas are the grocery store.
I'm not - I'm not going to define people by labels: who's a real Republican, who's not a real Republican.
I do believe that Planned Parenthood provides vital services to those in need and disagree with its funding cuts contained in the H.R. 1 package.
With the notion of marriage - an exclusive, emotional, binding 'til death do you part' tie - becoming more and more an exception to the rule given a rise in cohabitation and high rates of divorce, why should the federal government be telling adults who love one another that they cannot get married simply because they happen to be gay?
What you get when you elect Lisa Murkowski is you get somebody who builds on that legacy that Ted Stevens built for our state for 40 years that continues on that path, that trajectory, to helping a young state like Alaska build us out.
It doesn't make sense to argue about how much global warming is caused by man - whether it's 5 percent or 50 percent.
What people unfortunately relate to when they think of Alaska oil was when the Exxon Valdez went aground because of a captain that was drunk. But when you look to how we have been safely producing and moving Alaska's oil for decades, it is a track record that is enviable.
Scott McAdams is a nice guy, but I don't know that most Alaskans believe that he's electable.
I think there are a lot of outside interests that would like to see Sarah Palin in some form of elected office. Most in Alaska recognize our former governor is really not involved in or engaged in the state anymore, that she's moved to other interests.
I have nothing against President McKinley whatsoever, but I would rather have this peak be called by the name it has gone by for centuries by Alaskans than a man who never set foot in our state. This is the tallest mountain in North America, and we deserve to have this Alaskan landmark bear an Alaskan name.
We've been helping you out in Alaska in considerable ways, and you're walking away from the responsibility, and we're not going to allow that.
There are many outsiders that actively try to halt every natural resource development project in Alaska. Many of these same people have never even been to Alaska, yet they claim to know what's best for us.
I have never once asked Alaskans to like how I got this job.
I will do everything, everything in my power, for as long as I am here, to enable the people of King Cove to receive proper emergency access that the rest of us take for granted.
For eight years, I've served on the Indian Affairs committee, two years as the ranking member. I've been on that committee since Day One. I will stay on the committee for as long as I'm in the Senate because of my commitment to making a difference for Alaska Natives.
If there's anybody who is recognized as the one guy who has stymied Alaskan development, it's Bill Clinton.
I've been working to make sure that we've got adequate transportation. I've been working to make sure that we can afford energy within our villages and in our communities.
I believe it is important that Title X organizations continue to receive funding.
Like the majority of Alaskans, I supported a constitutional amendment in 1998 defining marriage as only between a man and a woman, but my thinking has evolved as America has witnessed a clear cultural shift.
What I am delivering to Alaska is a future that holds hope and opportunity for jobs, for people in this state.
We can write the book on how to run a successful write-in campaign for the United States Senate.
I'm working for my state first.
When you think about the children, one of the things that I'm quite concerned about - and I've heard it expressed by others - is trying to find how we can build better accountability, work to provide a level of education that prepares our children for the future.
Keep in mind, our demographics of our state, how it breaks down in terms of political affiliation: over half the people in this state chose not to align themselves with any party at all.
