Top pro-Senate GOP PAC endorses Murkowski’s 2022 reelection bid

Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska is being targeted by former President Trump and is already facing a GOP primary challenge, but on Friday she gained the backing of the top outside group that supports Republican Senate incumbents and candidates.

"Alaska needs the kind of experienced representation that Lisa Murkowski provides in the United States Senate," SLF president Steven Law emphasized in a statement. "Whether fighting for Alaskan interests like expanding energy production and protecting fisheries, or advancing conservative priorities by confirming judges and cutting taxes, her strong leadership is vitally important to Alaska's future. Many politicians put themselves first, but Lisa Murkowski always puts Alaska first." Murkowski, who hasn’t announced yet if she’ll run next year for a fourth six-year term in the Senate, is the only one of the seven Republican senators who last month voted to convict former President Trump in his impeachment trial who’s up for reelection in 2022.
