AK-SEN: Lisa Murkowski Files Paperwork For 2022 Senate Run [View all]
With little fanfare, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) on Thursday filed her candidacy paperwork for a Senate run in 2022.
The Alaska Republican, 64, had been mum about whether she planned to seek reelection to a fourth term. She told Politico in June, “I have not made public my intentions.”
Murkowski is a rare politician in today’s Senate: a moderate with record of working with Democrats on a number of fronts, and someone who is not afraid to buck her party on major votes.
She was arguably the most pivotal vote against repealing the Affordable Care Act in 2017. She was the only GOP senator who opposed Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court in 2018. She regularly condemned former President Donald Trump for his dangerous rhetoric and attacks on the media.
