EXCLUSIVE: Kelly Tshibaka, Alaska's Commissioner of Administration, is expected to announce a Republican primary challenge to incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski in the 2022 midterms, Fox News has learned. After nearly 20 years in D.C., Lisa Murkowski thinks the same way," Tshibaka says in a video being released by her campaign Monday. Murkowski first entered the Senate after her father, then-Sen. Frank Murkowski, was elected governor of Alaska. "It is time we had a U.S. senator who represents Alaska to Washington, D.C., rather than one who represents D.C. insiders to Alaska," Tshibaka said. The contest, at this point, would include Tshibaka and Bob Lochner, who ran against Murkowski during her last election in 2016.
