Miller: Murkowski Hiding From Alaska; Ducking Job Interview

Joe Miller responded today to the news that incumbent Lisa Murkowski is refusing to debate on Alaska’s most-watched television station.

“Lisa Murkowski is scraping the bottom of the barrel to come up with excuses for not showing up for her job review,” Miller said. “She’s hiding from Alaska and making excuses. It simply makes no sense to say you want to debate before a broad swath of your constituency while avoiding the largest state-wide television audience.”

Murkowski has agreed only to “debates” sponsored and moderated by her supporters and donors, or, in the case of public television, a venue dependent upon her for tax-payer subsidies.

There is no doubt to an impartial observer that the senator is running from public dialogue, and the issues most pressing to a majority of Alaskans.

Miller concluded, “This is typical behavior for a member of the Incumbents Club. Always up for a contest, as long as it’s rigged. Special favors for special interests. She’s determined to get this election into the special interest weeds so she doesn’t have to answer for what she’s actually been doing in Washington DC. Alaskans deserve better.”
