Kelly Tshibaka Announces Campaign Co-Chairs for Alaska’s 2022 U.S. Senate Race
Alaska Republican U.S. Senate candidate Kelly Tshibaka today released the names of her campaign’s regional co-chairs and issued the following statement:
“I am honored to have a strong group of Alaskans representing this campaign as Co-Chairs and I thank them for their support and willingness to help rebuild Alaska. In every corner of our great state, our campaign is giving a voice to real Alaskans. For too long, our views have been ignored by Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who is more concerned about the Washington, D.C. insiders that preserve her political family dynasty. Our campaign is a movement – one that will give Alaskans representation in the Senate that reflects our values. This is a campaign fueled by grassroots enthusiasm and we are excited to keep building that momentum.”
