According to a recent poll Alaska Department of Administration Commissioner Kelly Tshibaka is leading republican Senator Lisa Murkowski in a heavily anticipated primary challenge. Last week Tshibaka announced she would seek Murkowski’s Senate seat.
Current polling shows Tshibaka is ahead of Murkowski in an all-party primary, beating the incumbent by almost 15 points.
(Via Daily Mail) – […] Trump took aim at Murkowski in March, telling Politico he would ‘not be endorsing, under any circumstances, the failed candidate from the great State of Alaska, Lisa Murkowski.’
‘She represents the state badly and her county even worse,’ Trump said. ‘I do not know where other people will be next year, but I know where I will be – in Alaska campaigning against a disloyal and very bad Senator.’
Murkowski was one of seven GOP senators who voted to convict Trump of inciting the January 6 insurrection during his second impeachment trial.
He has publicly vowed to make them all pay, including listing all of their names during his first big political speech since leaving office, at the Conservative Political Action Conference, last month.
Tshibaka, whose run was first reported by Fox News, said she was running to represent a ‘new generation of Alaska conservatives.’
Her stances include being tough on immigration, pro-Second Amendment and anti-abortion. (more)
One note of caution, the last time Murkowski was primaried in 2010 she lost to republican Joe Miller. Murkowski would not give in and ran in the general election as a write-in candidate where Democrats could vote to support her. Murkowski is a slippery Decepticon and one of Mitch McConnell’s caucus.
(Forgive if this was said in a prior comment..haven’t read them all). I remember the write in a decade ago. Voters did not even need to spell her name properly. The Swamp will do anything to keep its creatures in power.
Steve, I read they changed the rule on that requirement for Lisa’s benefit. Now they are not going to have a party primary in the 2022 election. The top four candidates will advance to the general election.
I don’t know much about this system, but think it was done to help Lisa.
Maybe back-stabbing Rino isn’t a good career choice anymore.
Treason has its consequences.
Nepotism got her into office in the first place, her Dad (the Alaskan Gov.) appointed her. She has overstayed her welcome by YEARS! Dear Alaskans: Surely you can do better than this worthless POS!
Didn’t Murkowski win 10 years ago as a write-in candidate after losing the Republican primary?
Yep! Still remember the political adds telling us how to spell her name.
Hate that old bitty! And I’m an old bitty!
Could Sarah Palin be a factor in this race? and, if not, why not? Am I missing something? She was really hammered by the DS/MSM/UNIPARTY. So she must have been over the target. So is she too destroyed to make a comeback? Didn’t President Trump like her?
Just asking…
While I was circulating my petition to censure Murkowski I spoke to a number of District Chairs and Women’s organizations and my take away was that they wouldn’t support Sarah. I guess she burned the last time around and they aren’t going down that road again…it was a reoccurring theme wherever I went.
Thanks, another Patriot smeared and all for trying to save our country. She was a factor in the Tea Party movement. Wish she still was.
All of any group of people are not criminals. The political profession has way more than its share of criminals, but there are still a large enough number, who are honest enough. It will be our job to find the criminals and weed them out wherever we can. This has always been our job and, from the looks of this political mess, we have done a piss poor job of voting over the last 30 or more years. If criminals can rig elections, the game is over. It looks to me like we have pissed away all of our freedoms, so far.
Next phone call from Mukowski is to Dominion operator………
