Lisa Murkowski has represented Alaska since 2002, making her the fifth most senior Republican member of the U.S. Senate.

He vowed to defeat her and traveled to Alaska to campaign for Murkowski’s opponent, but she was re-elected and has continued her independent and principled service in the Senate. He current term lasts through 2028.
