Candidates for Alaska’s open U.S. Senate seat participated in the Debate for the State Thursday evening. The three candidates running for U.S. Senate were pressed with questions about issues currently facing Alaska.
The candidates vying for the Senate seat are current Sen. Lisa Murkowski , Kelly Tshibaka and Pat Chesbro . Buzz Kelley has withdrawn his candidacy after coming in fourth in the Aug. 16 primary.
Murkowski said that she introduced a bipartisan effort that ensures limitations, including a “conscience provision” for providers who are not willing to perform abortions.Tshibaka said that she did not believe any effort by Congress to codify Roe v. Wade would be upheld by the Supreme Court. Tshibaka noted that she believes birth control should be available over-the-counter and through the mail.
“I am wary of the things we hear around the country of people who are intimidating people,” Chesbro said. “The system cannot be safe if everyone does not have access to it.” “I would support the LGBTQ group forever,” Chesbro said. “As a principal, all kids were important to me and I’m horrified that anyone would try to harm children.”
“I do not support banning those weapons,” Tshibaka said. “I think that the ban should stay expired. I support the second amendment.” “We need to do renewables. We need to find what is the area what is the best thing in the area and it could be the nuclear mini-plants that they’re talking about,” Chesbro said. “We have a lot of things going on. We need to get this energy to people and it needs to be affordable.”
