Ad Watch: New spot highlights Murkowski's achievements

In a new TV ad, a PAC supporting the long-time Senator reminds voters of her legislative achievements in tough re-election battle.

In a new campaign ad tracked by the ad tracking firm AdImpact, Alaskans for LISA, a super PAC, showcased the senator's accomplishments this term.

A labor leader, former transportation commissioner, hospital administrator and others highlight Murkowski’s legislative accomplishments.

“She’ll work with the [Biden] administration when it’s good for Alaska and she’ll fight them tooth and nail when it’s not good for Alaska,” John McKinnon, the former state Commissioner of Transportation says in the ad.

The ad comes just two months before Alaska’s primary election, a nonpartisan “Top 4” system, where the top four vote getters in a primary advance to the general, regardless of political affiliation. Murkowski’s opponents include Kelly Tshibaka, who's been endorsed by former President Donald Trump.

Tshibaka has previously attacked Murkowski for being too cozy with Democrats, citing her confirmation vote in favor of President Joe Biden's nominee for the Supreme Court, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson.

Murkowski leads Tshibaka in fundraising, though, with over $7.5 million already raised this cycle. Tshibaka has raised over $2.5 million so far, according to the FEC.

CORRECTION (June 27, 2022, 1:10 p.m. ET): A previous version of this article misstated the source of the ad mentioned. It was run by the Alaskans for Lisa super PAC, not Murkowski’s campaign.
