JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — An early Republican candidate announced plans Monday to seek the Alaska U.S. Senate seat that has been held since 2002 by Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski.
Kelly Tshibaka, who has led the sprawling Alaska Department of Administration since early 2019, in a statement said she is running "for the Alaskans who believe government is of the people, by the people and for the people. The D.C. insiders need to be held accountable to us.”
Her campaign said she was resigning as commissioner in pursuing the Senate race.
Murkowski is widely seen as a moderate and has at times been at odds with her party, including on issues like abortion and in her criticism of former President Donald Trump.
Murkowski was one of seven Republican senators who voted to convict Trump, who was acquitted in a trial last month of a charge of incitement of insurrection related to the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot.
Earlier this month, state Republican Party leaders voted to censure Murkowski over that vote, with party leaders in some other states taking similar actions against Republicans who voted as she did.

Good. May MuRINOkowski be relegated to the bin of folks who love to kiss the butts of DemocRATs.
Shove it, lady.
She looks like she would stab you while smiling and you think “how quaint”.
Nice. Pretty blond hair, too - but why would she dye her roots brown like that?
Seriously? This crap passes for journalism?
Good, she can handle Murkowski and the liberal press.
Easier on the eyes than Murk-those things count. We’ve got one big problem. Her name is not Sarah. Perhaps Sarah’s time has come and gone. She may just prefer to stay home and count her money like the rest of them as Rome burns.
You realize, of course, that Lisa Murkowski only earned her Senate seat in the first place because she was a “legacy”, appointed to the seat by her father, then Governor of Alaska, Frank Murkowski. It was highly controversial at the time, as there were other more qualified persons available, and this was very much a macho display of nepotism.
Lisa Murkowski has been an endless disappointment ever since.
Imagine being a maitre d’ and having to cope with pronunciations suddenly handed him:
Table for the party of Ms.Kelly Tshibaka and Ms. Jen Psaki.
Yeah....do all those women on tv/in politics get told they have to have blond hair?
+1
Murkowski photo upon hearing the news....
First the constipation for three days and now this. When does it end?
fixed it
And that’s it. Can’t have more than one challenger.
Murkowski has forever been a RINO.
Course the GOP fails at every turn to force those in the party to follow the company line.
Take away plum assignments on committees etc. but nooo.
Even a lackluster republican would be better that the snake in the grass Murkowski.
PRAY for KELLY!!
Lisa is Literally DiFi’s B*TCH!
