We talk a lot in Congress about how we're going to encourage more development in renewables, and we put in place a subsidy that's good for two years. Then Congress argues and bickers over whether or not we're going to extend it. As a consequence, nothing happens because we've put so much uncertainty into the prospect of these subsidies.

We owe it to ourselves to keep healthy this marvelous world we've been given.

I did not believe and I do not believe that Planned Parenthood should be defunded.

If there is one belief that unifies most Alaskans - our true north - it is less government and more freedom. We don't want the government in our pockets or our bedrooms; we certainly don't need it in our families.

I believe that, as Americans, our freedoms come from God and not government, and include the rights enumerated in the Declaration of Independence: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

I was returned to the Senate by the people of Alaska, and I have an obligation to all of them - it's not an obligation to my party; it's an obligation to Alaskans.

I will be sent back to Washington, D.C., with the grace of God and all the Alaskan voters out there because all Alaskans have asked me to go back and continue my service.

There are times when you need to pitch a fit and other times when you need to apply Catholic guilt, and it's just figuring out which is the most appropriate approach and then implementing it.

I am not here as my party's nominee. I am unique among the 100 senators in that regard.

Statutory authority to improve fuel economy has existed for 35 years at the Transportation Department, and it still exists today.

I am not looking for a pound of flesh from Sally Jewell.

I don't pass the Tea Party's purity test.

Our hunting areas are the grocery store.

What I look at is, do you represent the values of the state of Alaska? Do you represent the people here in terms of what it is that they need, they hope for, what they hope for their future? And Joe Miller simply does not represent that.

I believe when there are so many forces pulling our society apart, we need more commitment to marriage, not less.

With the notion of marriage - an exclusive, emotional, binding 'til death do you part' tie - becoming more and more an exception to the rule given a rise in cohabitation and high rates of divorce, why should the federal government be telling adults who love one another that they cannot get married simply because they happen to be gay?

We do not have the transportation infrastructure that all you in the lower 48 have. We don't have energy grids that tie us in.

What you get when you elect Lisa Murkowski is you get somebody who builds on that legacy that Ted Stevens built for our state for 40 years that continues on that path, that trajectory, to helping a young state like Alaska build us out.

We can write the book on how to run a successful write-in campaign for the United States Senate.

You shouldn't say, 'Well, we cannot go there,' before we even had the conversation.

I'm working for my state first.

I am working for Alaska's best interests.

When you think about the children, one of the things that I'm quite concerned about - and I've heard it expressed by others - is trying to find how we can build better accountability, work to provide a level of education that prepares our children for the future.

Keep in mind, our demographics of our state, how it breaks down in terms of political affiliation: over half the people in this state chose not to align themselves with any party at all.
