jumping in:
I just got back from a local meet and greet with Kelly Tshibaka. Kelly is running to unseat Lisa Murkowski.
There were about a dozen people in the coffee shop at 7 AM. The lovely and talented Mrs. C and I sat across from her at the same table for an hour and I engaged her one-on-one after the meet. She impressed me as being, authentic, possessed of a sharp intellect and very knowledgeable.
1. She definitely understands Alaska. From the fisheries of Southeast to the native villages in the interior to the oilfields on the North slope and the controversy over ANWR, she gets it.
2. She is on the right side in the culture wars.
3. She is not beholden to any outside money interests.
5. She ain’t Lisa Murkowski. She listens.
I think Murkowski has an uphill battle. She is not well liked, nor is she likeable; a sharp contrast with Tshibaka.
The new ranked choice voting in Alaska has eliminated the chance of Murk repeating her write-in campaign this time. It may just come down to the Benjamins. (Or maybe that’s just me being cynical again)

BTW, the meet up with Kelly Tshibaka this morning:
There were No masks and no mention of The Plague or vaccines during our 1.5 hour conversations with Kelly and the two dozen or so Alaskan voters and customers in the room.
Thanks to you for stepping up and stepping out. 🙏 Prayers up to rid the USA of Lisa’s contributions to the libertines and treason runners. So glad that you engaged her opposition.
Odds are, hopefully, a box of rocks could be better than Lisa, certainly not much worse.
You do have a point on the Benjamins. Apparently Benjamins have bought off the vast majority of the US Senate Republicans. They can’t even seem to stop their own Republican leadership. I wonder why? /s
