(CNN) Republican Kelly Tshibaka, a former Alaska Department of Administration commissioner, launched her Senate campaign on Monday against Sen. Lisa Murkowski, pitching the election as an outsider versus a powerful, longtime insider. "We know what Washington, DC thinks about Alaska: We're here for their benefit; we're not going to put up much of a fight," said Tshibaka in a video . "After about 20 years in DC, Lisa Murkowski thinks the same way." Murkowski, a Republican moderate on issues like abortion, has beat back candidates from the right before. The senator did not vote for the former President in 2020 and told The Hill she wrote in someone else who lost.
