I’ve been working to make sure that we’ve got adequate transportation. I’ve been working to make sure that we can afford energy within our villages and in our communities. – Lisa Murkowski
I think there are a lot of outside interests that would like to see Sarah Palin in some form of elected office. Most in Alaska recognize our former governor is really not involved in or engaged in the state anymore, that she’s moved to other interests. – Lisa Murkowski
I believe that, as Americans, our freedoms come from God and not government, and include the rights enumerated in the Declaration of Independence: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. – Lisa Murkowski
I am not one of those who wants Obama to fail. If he does well, that means the country’s doing well. – Lisa Murkowski
We can write the book on how to run a successful write-in campaign for the United States Senate. – Lisa Murkowski
Think about how our country was built. The greatness came from our diversity; the greatness came from individuals with different perspectives coming together. – Lisa Murkowski
We can sit between active drilling operations in neighboring countries, complaining that it’s too risky to develop our own resources while the world around us does exactly that. – Lisa Murkowski
I believe when there are so many forces pulling our society apart, we need more commitment to marriage, not less. – Lisa Murkowski
What people unfortunately relate to when they think of Alaska oil was when the Exxon Valdez went aground because of a captain that was drunk. But when you look to how we have been safely producing and moving Alaska’s oil for decades, it is a track record that is enviable. – Lisa Murkowski
So much of what we do addresses the issues that are associated with climate change, whether it’s working to reduce emissions, whether it’s working to nail down our renewables, whether it’s ensuring great efficiency in accessing all of our energy sources. – Lisa Murkowski
When you put in place regulations that are so burdensome, so tough, so much so that they cripple your economy, we then don’t have the resources to invest in technologies that are going to make that difference, because it’s just going to shut everything down. That’s not going to help us as an economy. – Lisa Murkowski
Any efforts or opportunity to expand the civil bonds and rights to anyone that wants to build a stable, happy household should be promoted. – Lisa Murkowski
America’s neighbors are not drilling for fun or for sport; they’ve chosen to proceed to create new jobs, generate new revenues, and increase the energy supply and prosperity of their citizens. – Lisa Murkowski
We do not have the transportation infrastructure that all you in the lower 48 have. We don’t have energy grids that tie us in. – Lisa Murkowski
From 2002-2008, Planned Parenthood received $342 million in federal taxpayer money through Title X funding alone. With these funds, Planned Parenthood has provided women throughout the U.S. with important family planning and contraceptive services as well as screening for breast and cervical cancers for low-income women. – Lisa Murkowski
I still wear my write-in wristband. It used to be plastic, but my husband turned it into gold. – Lisa Murkowski

Alaskans deserve a fighter in the United States Senate who will always stand up for Alaska, who understands our great potential, who has the experience, respect and seniority to accomplish that. I am that senator. – Lisa Murkowski
With the notion of marriage – an exclusive, emotional, binding ’til death do you part’ tie – becoming more and more an exception to the rule given a rise in cohabitation and high rates of divorce, why should the federal government be telling adults who love one another that they cannot get married simply because they happen to be gay? – Lisa Murkowski
I will do everything, everything in my power, for as long as I am here, to enable the people of King Cove to receive proper emergency access that the rest of us take for granted. – Lisa Murkowski
It doesn’t make sense to argue about how much global warming is caused by man – whether it’s 5 percent or 50 percent. – Lisa Murkowski
I have nothing against President McKinley whatsoever, but I would rather have this peak be called by the name it has gone by for centuries by Alaskans than a man who never set foot in our state. This is the tallest mountain in North America, and we deserve to have this Alaskan landmark bear an Alaskan name. – Lisa Murkowski
Like the majority of Alaskans, I supported a constitutional amendment in 1998 defining marriage as only between a man and a woman, but my thinking has evolved as America has witnessed a clear cultural shift. – Lisa Murkowski
I think Alaskans expect me to think, to think about them and do the right thing for them. – Lisa Murkowski
I am not here as my party’s nominee. I am unique among the 100 senators in that regard. – Lisa Murkowski
