Incumbent Republican Lisa Murkowski has won reelection to the U.S. Senate, emerging ahead of challenger Kelly Tshibaka after ranked choice tabulation on Wednesday.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski is greeted before she speaks her Infrastructure Symposium in Anchorage on September 7, 2022.
After ranked choice votes were tabulated on Wednesday afternoon, Murkowski emerged with 53.7% of votes ahead of Tshibaka’s 46.3%. More than two-thirds of Chesbro’s voters ranked Murkowski second. Murkowski also had support from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, whose leadership PAC spent millions on ads attacking Tshibaka, raising the ire of Republican leaders nationwide who hoped to see more spending on competitive Senate races elsewhere.
