Lisa Murkowski is often alone among Senate Republicans in publicly criticizing President Donald Trump’s administration. But back home in Alaska, the Republican senator says her constituents — most of whom voted for Trump — are concerned and unhappy with his approach to government.
“I do feel like I’m shouldering the concerns from many Alaskans that have stopped me, that have shared their worries, whether it’s reduction in forces, cuts to grants, impacts that we’re seeing from some of the abrupt activities here in Washington, D.C.,” she said in an hour-long interview with Alaska Public Media’s Lori Townsend on the “Talk of Alaska” radio show.
“I’m hanging in there, but I could use a little better sleep,” the senator said.
