Jeff LandfieldHOST
I did read it though.
Jeff LandfieldHOST
It was Frank Murkowski, Bill, Republican Frank Murkowski, Bill Walker, Tony Knowles wrote an article, an op-ed about Jonathan Chris Tompkins.
Jeff LandfieldHOST
So he's basically essentially the lowest common denominator for a lot of people who, you know, they're looking at, it's really kind of a travesty that Tom Begich got pushed out.
Jeff LandfieldHOST
Um, the Democrats, they all seem to love ranked choice voting unless somebody is in the way of maybe winning a race.
Jonathan Kreiss-TomkinsGUEST
And again, just very grateful that they were willing to step up and voice their support.
Andrew HaukerHOST
And, Zach, let me ask you, so your campaign has now been endorsed by three different governors, Tony Knowles, who is a Democrat, Frank Murkowski, who is a Republican, Bill Walker, who is a Republican and an independent.
Andrew HaukerHOST
So you've been endorsed by three different governors, Republican, Democrat, independent.
Andrew HaukerHOST
Doesn't that just about say everything about your campaign, Zach?
Brad StaggsHOST
And I really don't want to see that, any of that laid all out there.
Brad StaggsHOST
He's also gotten the support from her father, former Governor Frank Murkowski, and two other, one was independent, Bill Walker, and another Democrat.
Brad StaggsHOST
Okay, sorry, hang on a second.
Brad StaggsHOST
I just saw the, I saw the image here of the, Okay, for a second I thought that was Chaz Bono.
Ryan CotterHOST
Murkowski is far from the only elected Republican to back Christ Tompkins.
Ryan CotterHOST
He's also won support from a variety of former Republican state legislators and Senator Murkowski's father, former Governor Frank Murkowski.
Ryan CotterHOST
The elder Murkowski endorsed Christ Tompkins in an Anchorage Daily News op-ed co-authored with two other former governors, Independent Bill Walker and Democrat Tony Knowles.
Ryan CotterHOST
Kitchikan's city council last winter approved updates to its municipal code that limit where people can sit, lie, or camp within city limits.
Matt MorseHOST
Trump endorsed Bernadette Wilson, Dave Bronson, and Treg Taylor, and Murkowski passed on all three of them, endorsing the Democrat.
Matt MorseHOST
Her father, former Governor Frank Murkowski, also joined Democrat Tony Knowles and Bill Walker in endorsing Grace Tompkins today.
Matt MorseHOST
Folks, at this point, why does Lisa Murkowski even pretend to have that R next to her name? She's representing a heavy Trump state like a Democrat.
Matt MorseHOST
Unreal.
Jonah GoldbergPANELIST
That's been my thesis, yes.
Jonah GoldbergPANELIST
I literally, I don't know, 20, 30 minutes before I came here, I asked LaFerra Jessica, my wife, who came to Washington to work for Frank Murkowski, Lisa's

dad.
Jonah GoldbergPANELIST
She's from Alaska.
Mark EliasGUEST
Yeah, look, this is where I, you know, like, in some ways, I don't engage in the, like, this is why it matters or doesn't matter.
Mark EliasGUEST
I mean, Lisa Murkowski ran and, like, probably some number of people thought she was Frank Murkowski, right? Like, I mean, like, the fact that candidates benefit from all kinds of confusion.
Mark EliasGUEST
Sometimes it's two people on the ballot with the same name.
Mark EliasGUEST
Sometimes it's someone who's on the ballot who has a name of someone who they think is someone else.
Paxson WoelberGUEST
So they were staff? Yeah.
Paxson WoelberGUEST
Who did they work for? I think it was my mom worked for Stevens and my dad worked for Frank Murkowski.
Paxson WoelberGUEST
I think that's right.
Paxson WoelberGUEST
Again, it was a little before my time.
Jennifer BrineyHOST
The problem is that Lisa Murkowski did not enter office until after those bills became laws.
Jennifer BrineyHOST
The 2001 votes were her father's.
Jennifer BrineyHOST
And so that is a problem with having, you know, this pattern that we have in Congress of children taking over their parents' seats as if these are things that we hand down as inheritance.
Jennifer BrineyHOST
That is how Lisa Murkowski got her job.
James BrooksGUEST
Mm-hmm.
Geoffrey SkelleyHOST
Which is interesting to me because, look, the Republican, Republicans have held the governorship in Alaska since Frank Murkowski won it in 2002.
Geoffrey SkelleyHOST
He didn't necessarily hold it, hold it for very long, 'cause he ended up losing badly in the primary in 2006 to a, a certain politician named Sarah Palin, who people may be familiar with.
Geoffrey SkelleyHOST
Um, but obviously, uh, it's, it's been a while since Democrats have won the governorship in Alaska, and yet it does look like Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins, a former state representative, has a real shot.
Geoffrey SkelleyHOST
That's what it was.
Geoffrey SkelleyHOST
Yeah, yeah.
Geoffrey SkelleyHOST
So, you know, anytime you see a primary loss and you're, you know, putting data together on like primary losses, you know, those stick out, and obviously Frank Murkowski later was also one.
Geoffrey SkelleyHOST
