If Margaret Stock believes all four of the candidates on the stage at the Arctic debate basically agree on the policies, it seems to me she should vote for the one with the most experience in getting things done.  Lisa Murkowski has funded an icebreaker, water and sewer projects and health clinics.  She is expert at oil and gas as well as renewable energy and pushes for both in her energy bill. She is the Senate's expert on the Arctic and is a staunch defender of Native self-determination.  She knows how taxes impact families and small businesses because she's raised a family and her husband owned a small business for years, one now run by her son.   

I watched the debate.  Lisa got the most applause and was eloquent in her understanding and love for the people who live above the Arctic Circle--people she has come to know well in her many visits there.  And it was clear that she deserves reelection.
