View from the Hill, Troth Yeddha’ An Open Letter to Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska

Cover photo by Shane Bennett

Dear Senator Murkowski,

As you are a member of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, you are privileged with the access to, and an understanding of, the science behind climate change. Despite this, you chose politics over the needs of your constituents and voted against the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, an act to provide $369 billion for climate and clean energy provisions that could have benefitted Alaskan residents directly.
