Tirelessly works to push for more domestic production and support an “all-of-the-above” energy approach to support good-paying jobs, lower Alaska’s energy costs, and reduce our nation’s dependence on foreign resources—especially amidst record-high gas prices and Russia’s actions.

Commitment to promote domestic production and an all-of-the-above energy strategy for Alaska.

Ultimately, my goal is to make sure that our FY27 bill again puts the Department in the best possible position for the year ahead. And that includes the funding that you need to permit domestic resource production. And this is everything from oil and gas to minerals, and including renewables, which we can’t arbitrarily exclude from our nation’s energy portfolio.

Murkowski said her goal for the FY27 Interior appropriations bill is to provide funding needed to permit domestic resource production, including oil, gas, minerals, and renewables.

Evidence

The press release says Murkowski preserved core energy priorities in the FY26 Energy and Water bill, including a report on a natural gas pipeline in Alaska, $16.7 million for methane hydrate production on the North Slope, and language supporting tidal and geothermal pilot projects in Alaska.

Concrete same-term appropriations action advanced Alaska energy and resource development, but it does not by itself prove the broader oil, gas, coal, timber, and other production promise is fully completed.

AP reported that Murkowski co-led a June 16 letter with Sen. Jeff Merkley asking NSF to halt dismantling of the Ocean Observatories Initiative, which includes instruments off Alaska, and that they planned legislation to stop the spending cut until a review is completed.

Recent activity shows Murkowski is still taking concrete Alaska-related policy action, but this is only indirect evidence and not direct proof of new oil, gas, coal, or timber production gains.

The claim is framed as an effort promise: to work and push for more Alaska resource production under an all-of-the-above approach. Murkowski clearly did that during the 2017-2022 Senate term. As Energy Committee chair, she materially advanced opening ANWR drilling through the 2017 tax law, backed federal actions to expand Tongass timber access in 2019-2020, and continued pressing oil, gas, and broader Alaska energy development through later project approvals and appropriations. Not every resource category produced a permanent or complete win, but the promise was to push this agenda, and her record shows sustained, concrete federal action in that direction during the same elected term.
