Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Rep. Mary Sattler Peltola were in attendance at Tuesday night's SOTU address. Alaska's entire congressional delegation emphasized development in Alaska in commentary surrounding the annual speech.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Tuesday evening’s State of the Union address from Pres. Joe Biden — the second of his term as president — was met with mixed reaction, not only across party lines but also from members of Alaska’s congressional delegation.
Murkowski also pointed to what she believes are significant bipartisan accomplishments, several of which she has been a part, but said that “it has to be more than just words,” and while there was good work done, she thinks worry over a recession in Alaska remains. “We’ve got a project that is ready-made, the Willow Project in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska,” she said. “Mr. President, do the right thing and approve that project, so it gets Alaskans to work, it helps our native people who live in that region, it helps our state, it helps our country, and it helps our allies. That’s made in America.”
Like Murkowski, Peltola commended the forward movement of the Willow Project, but spoke on the importance of responsible resource development across the state and acknowledged how many Alaskans are still suffering from a struggling economy.
