Weekly Republican Address - Oct. 31, 2015
October 31, 2015
Hi, I’m Lisa Murkowski. And I’m honored to represent Alaska in the U.S. Senate, where I chair the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. It’s been a pretty good week in Congress — with the House of Representatives welcoming a new speaker, Paul Ryan, and the Senate passing a major bill to protect our nation’s cyber security. What I want to talk with you about today, though, is another key national security issue — energy. And I want to highlight what is happening in my home state, because it foreshadows […]
Shelley Moore Capito
Speeches
Weekly Republican Address - Sept. 19, 2015
September 19, 2015
I'm Senator Shelley Moore Capito from West Virginia. For months, Congress carefully and thoughtfully examined the details of the president's agreement with Iran and its profound implications for our national security. We have evaluated this deal through simple and straightforward standards: Will this agreement eliminate Iran's path to a nuclear weapon? Will it improve the security situation in the Middle East? And, most importantly, will it make America safer? The bipartisan majority of Congress and the American public have concluded it will not improve our safety, our security or our […]

Because of their […]

Weekly Republican Address - Jan. 24, 2015
January 24, 2015
Hello. I’m Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. This past week, President Obama, in his State of the Union address, laid out his plans for America. And as part of his speech, he called on Congress to pass an infrastructure bill that will create jobs and make our nation stronger for decades to come. I welcomed that message, and the fact is, we’ve already started. For over two weeks now, the Senate has been working hard on a bipartisan bill to approve the Keystone XL pipeline. This important infrastructure project will […]
