安克雷奇，阿拉斯加州（KTUU）——参议员丽莎·穆尔科斯基已背书民主党州长候选人乔纳森·克赖斯-汤金斯。
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - Sen. Lisa Murkowski has endorsed Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins.
“JKT（克赖斯-汤金斯的首字母缩写）是一位年轻的阿拉斯加人，拥有我认为阿拉斯加现在所需要的观点和视角，”穆尔科斯基周二在接受丽贝卡·帕尔沙采访时表示。
“JKT is young Alaskan with a view and a perspective that I think Alaska needs right now,” Murkowski told Rebecca Palsha on Tuesday.
穆尔科斯基称，该州需要一位愿意与朱诺所有立法者合作、且有意建设而非叫停行动的州长。
Murkowski says the state needs a governor who’s willing to work with all lawmakers in Juneau and someone who’s interested in building things, rather than halting action.
“我们需要一位将与立法机构合作的州长，”她说。“要想让我们的国会代表团在华盛顿特区取得成功，这必须发生。”穆尔科斯基还表示，民调显示阿拉斯加人对该州的发展方向不满意。她还批评了邓利维政府。
“We need a governor who’s going to work with the legislature,” she said. “That has got to happen for the delegation to be successful back in Washington DC.”Murkowski also says polls reveal that Alaskans aren’t happy with the way the state is heading. She also was critical about the Gov. Mike Dunleavy administration.
“我发现了问题。我发现了邓利维政府的问题。我认为他们让联邦资金白白流失。我认为在某些领域，我们努力从联邦层面争取机会并带回州内，但州政府却未能善用。”她特别指出了阿拉斯加海上公路系统。
“I have found fault. I have found fault with the Dunleavy administration. I think that they have left federal money on the table. I think in certain areas, where we have worked hard to put opportunities from the federal side, here, into the state, the state has failed with it.”She pointed specifically to the Alaska Marine Highway System.
这位阿拉斯加州资深参议员长期以来常背离党派路线，此前曾背书民主党人玛丽·佩尔托拉竞选连任联邦众议员，但佩尔托拉在2024年败给了现任众议员尼克·贝吉奇。她在2018年也未投票支持大法官布雷特·卡瓦诺的确认。
Alaska’s senior senator has long gone against party lines and has previously endorsed Democrat Mary Peltola for re-election to the U.S. House, which she lost to current Rep. Nick Begich in 2024. She also didn’t vote for the confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court in 2018.
自特朗普首个任期以来，她一直是唐纳德·特朗普总统的攻击目标，随着选举日临近，特朗普对她的措辞愈发严厉。特朗普于10月13日背书共和党人伯纳德特·威尔逊，数小时后在瓦西拉举行集会。
She has long been a target for President Donald Trump since his first term and his harsh words for her have escalated as election day comes closer. Trump endorsed Republican Bernadette Wilson on Oct. 13, hours before he appeared for a rally in Wasilla.
特朗普称穆尔科斯基是参议院中“最差的议员之一”，还抨击排序复选制，称其为“民主党骗局”。
Trump has called Murkowski one of the worst members of the chamber and has also criticized ranked-choice voting, calling it a “DEMOCRAT SCAM.”
“共和党最差的参议员，远超其他人，来自伟大的阿拉斯加州的丽莎·穆尔科斯基，”特朗普在“真相社交”上写道，随后形容她是“阿拉斯加和我们国家的耻辱”。
“The Republicans’ Worst Senator, by far, Lisa Murkowski, of the Great State of Alaska,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, before describing her as a “DISGRACE to Alaska and our Country.”
针对其他共和党领袖此前批评她并不总是按党派路线投票，穆尔科斯基回应称，她清楚自己“并不总是在阿拉斯加共和党的‘好人名单’上”。
In response to previous criticisms from other GOP leaders about not always voting along party lines, Murkowski answered that she is aware that she has “not always been on the Alaska Republican Party’s good list.”
“我承认这一点，但那不是我的指令，”穆尔科斯基说。“我的指令是为阿拉斯加州的人民服务。这确实意味着共和党人，也意味着民主党人，意味着无党派人士，以及那些选择不加入任何政党的人。” 克赖斯-汤普金斯——这位前锡特卡州议员，大多数人称他为J.K.T.——是阿拉斯加州长竞选中唯一的民主党人。他将面对主要的共和党对手：伯纳德特·威尔逊、戴夫·布朗森和特雷格·泰勒。
“I recognize that, but that’s not my directive,” Murkowski said. “My directive is to serve the people of the state of Alaska. And that does mean Republicans and it does mean Democrats and means Independents and it means people who choose not to be affiliated with any party at all.”Kreiss-Tomkins, the former Sitka state lawmaker — known to most as J.K.T. — is the only Democrat in Alaska’s race for governor. He is running against the top Republicans: Bernadette Wilson, Dave Bronson and Treg Taylor.
威尔逊曾多次要求布朗森和泰勒退出竞选，以避免分裂共和党选票，特朗普总统也提出了同样的要求。
Wilson has repeatedly asked Bronson and Taylor to drop out of the race to avoid splitting a Republican vote and so has President Trump.
在本月的第二条社交媒体帖子中，特朗普表示他不会背书布朗森，声称布朗森“乞求”他的支持，但特朗普说他不会答应，因为布朗森在8月的州初选中并非得票最高的共和党人。布朗森对阿拉斯加新闻源表示，他对通向特朗普背书的事件回忆“与我的不同。”
In the second of the two social media posts this month, Trump said he would not endorse Bronson, claiming that Bronson “begged” him for support but Trump said he would not oblige because he was not the top Republican in the state primary in August. Bronson told Alaska’s News Source his recollection of the events leading to the Trump endorsement were “different from mine.”
穆尔科斯基背书后不到一小时，布朗森周二就阿拉斯加新闻源的置评请求作出回应，称这位参议员“有权背书她选择的任何人，就像特朗普总统一样。”“那是她的决定，”布朗森说。“然而，我的忠诚依然属于阿拉斯加人民，而非任何政治人物或背书。”
Bronson responded Tuesday to a request for comment from Alaska’s News Source within an hour of Murkowski’s endorsement, stating the the senator is “entitled to endorse whoever she chooses, just as President Trump is.”“That is her decision to make,” Bronson said. “My loyalty, however, remains with the people of Alaska not any political figure or endorsement.
“我尊重选民会自行做出决定，我将继续直接向他们阐述我的主张：凭借我的经验、我的服务记录，以及我对阿拉斯加未来的承诺。这场竞选应当关乎我们服务的民众和我们州面临的挑战。我专注于赢得阿拉斯加人的信任，为他们的最大利益而努力。”
“I respect that voters will make their own decisions, and I’ll keep making my case directly to them: through my experience, my record of service, and my commitment to Alaska’s future. This race should be about the people we serve and the challenges facing our state. I’m focused on earning Alaskans’ trust and working for what is best for them.”In response to Tuesday’s news, Treg Taylor expressed disappointment that Murkowski would endorse a Democrat for governor.
针对周二的消息，特雷格·泰勒对穆尔科斯基背书一名民主党州长候选人表示失望。
“I am not surprised by the support former Governors Bill Walker and Tony Knowles have given Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins,” Taylor stated. “Under their leadership, Alaskans experienced either increased taxes or reduced PFD’s. Their endorsements for a candidate proposing new taxes are consistent with that history.
泰勒表示：“前州长比尔·沃克和托尼·诺尔斯支持乔纳森·克雷斯-汤金斯，我并不感到意外。在他们的领导下，阿拉斯加人经历了增税或永久基金红利（PFD）减少。他们为一名主张增税的候选人背书，与这一历史一脉相承。
“What is particularly disappointing is Senator Lisa Murkowski’s decision to cross party lines and endorse a Democrat for governor. Alaskans deserve leadership that protects their PFDs , respects their hard-earned money, and prioritizes fiscal responsibility over additional taxation. As your Governor, I will do just that!”In a September 2026 New York Times/Siena Poll, Kreiss-Tomkins is ranked as the top candidate with about 40% of Alaska likely voters choosing him. Wilson sits at 20%, Taylor 11% and Bronson at 15%.
“特别令人失望的是，参议员丽莎·穆尔科斯基决定跨越党派界限，背书一名民主党州长候选人。阿拉斯加人理应得到保护其永久基金红利、尊重其辛苦赚来的钱、并将财政责任置于增税之上的领导人。作为你们的州长，我将做到这一点！”
Kreiss-Tomkins has also brought in more money than either three Republican candidates.
根据2026年9月《纽约时报》/锡耶纳学院的一项民调，克雷斯-汤金斯位列首位，约40%的阿拉斯加可能选民选择他。威尔逊得20%，泰勒11%，布朗森15%。克雷斯-汤金斯筹集的资金也超过了那三位共和党候选人。
In an interview with Alaska’s News Source from this past summer, Kreiss-Tomkins said he was running for governor to help move the state in the right direction.
在今夏接受阿拉斯加新闻源采访时，克雷斯-汤金斯表示，他竞选州长是为了帮助该州朝正确的方向前进。
“I feel like the last eight years under our current governor, have been, frankly, a failure. Kind of a dumpster fire for Alaska. All the indicators feel like our state is going in the wrong direction and I want to turn that around. I believe in problem solving and working together. That was very much my approach in the legislature. I feel like we have been absolutely missing that in the governor’s office the last eight years and I want to sort of change that equation,” he said at the time.
“我觉得，坦白说，在现任州长治下的过去八年是失败的。对阿拉斯加来说，这简直是一场灾难。所有指标都让人觉得我们州正朝着错误的方向走，我想扭转这一局面。我信奉解决问题和携手合作。这正是我在议会中一贯的做法。我觉得过去八年在州长办公室里完全看不到这一点，我想在一定程度上改变这种局面，”他当时说。这是一则仍在发展中的新闻，请稍后回来查看详情。
