The Senate Leadership Fund Super PAC, Sen. Mitch McConnell’s political action committee, endorsed Sen. Lisa Murkowski for reelection, it announced today. Murkowski has been challenged by Republican Kelly Tshibaka.
“Senator Murkowski embodies the long Alaska tradition of effective Republican leadership that gets results for the state and its citizens. Murkowski fights for the state’s resource development economy, fisheries and unparalleled parks and wildlife. She cares deeply about the special heritage and priorities of the Alaska Native people,” the organization said.
“Senator Murkowski has also been a champion for conservative values in Washington. She voted to confirm President Trump’s nominations of Justice Gorsuch and Justice Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court, helping to cement a constitutional conservative majority on the nation’s highest court for years to come. She voted in support of the landmark Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and policies to free businesses from excessive, burdensome regulations,” it said in an announcement.
” Many politicians put themselves first, but Lisa Murkowski always puts Alaska first,” said the super PAC’s President Steven Law.
The Senate Leadership Fund and its affiliates have played a decisive role in Alaska’s Senate races, helping to elect Senator Dan Sullivan in 2014 and supporting his reelection in 2020. In 2020, SLF invested $6.9 million in support of Sen. Sullivan, to counter an onslaught of liberal special interest spending for Sullivan’s opponent.
Senate Leadership Fund was established in January 2015 by supporters of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in order to maintain a Republican majority in the United States Senate.
