I’m curious, what do Alaskans think about Lisa Murkowski as a senator?
I think she's a good senator and an example of what the Republican Party should be like. I mean is she perfect, no, but at the same time I do feel like she means well and has generally done good things in D.C.
Also I've seen some people say that her and Collins voting against Hegseth was all a performance, but to be honest, I think it was most likely genuine. I believe this because as we have seen on social media, it has led to a whole lot of Republicans rallying against them and the MAGA voters will almost certainly turn against them during primaries. So it really wouldn't make sense for them to have only voted No just because there were enough votes to confirm Hegseth anyway. It would just not benefit them in any way and in fact could fuel efforts to primary them out of Congress. Alaska and Maine are still leaning Red so if anything, they would have wanted to pander to the MAGA policies.
I also saw she doesn't have any stock trading activity, so I also feel that the fact she doesn't insider trade as a greedy way to get money is a plus.
Finally considering how many loud and obnoxious members of congress we have, she has always appeared more mild mannered to me, which I do like.
