I look forward to working together with the Chamber and their members over the next 6 years."

“Senator Murkowski has been a steadfast champion of the tourism industry in Alaska, especially during our darkest days through the pandemic,” said Arne Johnson, President of Wings Airways. “Her ability to work across party lines combined with her determination to do what’s best for Alaska is exactly what we need to grow our economy and ensure a prosperous future for all Alaskans. We are proud to support Lisa Murkowski for re-election this November.”

“Lynden supports re-electing Lisa Murkowski to the U.S. Senate,” said Jim Jansen, Chairman of Lynden Inc. “With marine, truck and air transportation operations throughout Alaska, Lynden’s future is dependent on a stable economy and continued investment in our state. This requires a strong, smart and hardworking Senator with seniority, who always puts Alaska first.”
