· Leave a Comment

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) said she would not run for governor, the Alaska Watchman reports.

Said Murkowski: “Would I not consider returning back to the state that I love and working on hard problems and challenges? – Absolutely.”

She added: “But I also feel that the role that I’m playing here in the United States Senate is a particularly important one for our state and for the country. So, um hard decisions, but you got to pick one and I am here and going to continue to serve Alaskans here.”

Same Election. Different Stories.

Election Day brings a flood of political news — and which sources you follow can shape the story you see.

That's why I appreciate what Ground News does. It shows how the same story is covered across the political spectrum — and highlights important stories that one side may be ignoring entirely.

And when the votes are counted and everyone starts debating what they mean, it's a useful way to get a broader view.
