2022 AK Senate race: on Principles & Values
Kelly Tshibaka:
Trump impeachment: opponent "out of touch" for supporting
Tshibaka launched her campaign against Sen. Murkowski, pitching the election as an outsider versus a powerful, longtime insider. "We know what Washington, DC thinks about Alaska: We're here for their benefit; we're not going to put up much of a fight,"
said Tshibaka in a video. "After about 20 years in DC, Lisa Murkowski thinks the same way." Tshibaka called Murkowski "so out of touch" for voting "to remove Donald Trump from office, even after he was already gone."

Kelly Tshibaka:
Constitution provides no religious test for public office
Religious liberty is enshrined in the text of our United States Constitution. The First Amendment protects freedom of religious expression. And Article VI of the Constitution provides that no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to
any office or public trust under the United States. The United States Supreme Court has explicitly warned against the danger of presuming that a person's faith might present a danger in the context of holding public office.

Kelly Tshibaka:
Employees are free to express their religion or nonreligion
All employees of Alaska have a protected freedom to express their religion or nonreligion. Alaskans' rights of free exercise are not limited to their doors of their churches, their synagogues, their mosques, or their temples. They carry those rights
with them wherever they go, and wherever they are, including in the halls of our state legislature or at their desks at the State of Alaska agencies. Their rights of free exercise of religion have to be honored and protected and observed.

Kelly Tshibaka:
I'm for America first, always
I will be a strong voice in opposition to illegal immigration and, as the proud descendant of Americans who fought in virtually every major American conflict from the Revolutionary War to the Vietnam War, I will be a tireless advocate for our military
and our veterans. I will fight to preserve our Second Amendment right to bear arms and, as an unapologetically pro-life Alaska conservative, I will be a voice for the unborn. And I'm for America first, always.

Lisa Murkowski:
Bipartisanship: a good-faith effort to listen to one another
Q: Let's start with the infrastructure bill. How did that succeed where previous attempts at bipartisanship failed? MURKOWSKI: It came about because you had a small group of people that said, we need to get something done, rather than just send a
message. There was a good-faith effort to work through the hard things. Sometimes, when the going gets tough we retreat to the party messages. We listened to one another, gained an understanding, and said, the country needs this.

Lisa Murkowski:
When the party says something wrong, I'll speak the truth
I'm not here to be the representative of the Republican Party. I'm here to be the representative for Alaskan people. And I take that charge very, very seriously. So, when there is a conflict, when the party is taking an approach or saying things that
I think are just absolutely wrong, I think it's my responsibility, as an Alaskan senator speaking out for Alaskans, to just speak the truth.

Make this world a more inclusive place
I will join with our marginalized persons, no matter the color of their skins, their country of origin, or their
LGBTQ+ identities, in making this world a more inclusive place."Our diversity is our strength. We must not only tolerate, but also respect those with different backgrounds, traditions, and world views."
