Lisa Murkowski: 'The problem with standing on principle is when your constituents get hurt'

Alaska Republican U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski has been in the news in recent weeks for her decisive vote on President Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill." She's also been featured prominently on national television shows, radio and podcasts, as part of a promotional tour for her new book: Far From Home [https://sites.prh.com/farfromhomebook]. In this episode, Murkowski stops in to the Northern Journal podcast. We start by talking about her new book and her style of politics, and then, around 17:55, we get into her 'yes' vote on Trump's legislation. The episode includes some discussion of an opinion piece by Murkowski's U.S. Senate colleague from Kentucky, Republican Rand Paul; that piece is here [https://www.courier-journal.com/story/opinion/contributors/2025/07/03/trump-rand-paul-big-beautiful-bill-vote-congress-debt/84461567007/].

What happens when the trans-Alaska pipeline shuts down? And who pays to remove it?

This episode delves into a secret corner of Alaska's oil and gas industry — an obscure, complicated but important realm where there are billions of dollars at stake. Our two guests have written a newly published paper [https://alr.law.duke.edu/article/making-alaskans-whole-rocchi-vol41-iss2/] for the Alaska Law Review that examines the future of the trans-Alaska pipeline — what happens when it's ready to be decommissioned, who's going to pay, and how the state could work to make sure it's not left holding the bag. Catherine Rocchi is regulatory lead at the Alaska Public Interest Research Group, a watchdog organization that includes the oil and gas industry in its portfolio. Phil Wight is an energy historian and an assistant professor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

episode Is there light at the tunnel for Alaska's fishing industry? artwork

Is there light at the tunnel for Alaska's fishing industry?

It's been a rough few years for Alaska's fishing industry. Oversupply, competition from farmed and Russian salmon, inflation and rising interest rates — all of these things have combined to put a real hurt on fishermen and processing companies. As the summer salmon season kicks off, there are some glimmers of hope that things are turning around. But there are also still some big questions and challenges looming over the industry. We break them down here, courtesy of an all-star group of guests: • Norm Pillen, president of a processing company in Sitka that's cooperatively owned by fishermen, the Seafood Producers Cooperative [https://www.spcsales.com/]. (You can buy fish directly from there, here [https://alaskagoldbrand.com/].) • Erick Sabo, a Bristol Bay skipper and board president of a regional fisheries marketing group called the Bristol Bay Regional Seafood Development Association [https://www.bbrsda.com/]. • Rachel Sapin, a longtime reporter for industry publication Intrafish [http://intrafish.com/] who covers Alaska processing businesses and other stories.
