The making of U.S. Senate candidate Kelly Tshibaka: The conservative Republican says that she’s been pushing back against attacks for much of her life, and that her experiences fostered resilience. “This is why I can run for U.S. Senate.” (2nd of 3 parts)
U.S. Senate candidate Kelly Tshibaka, left, walks door to door in an East Anchorage neighborhood with campaign assistant Victoria Gotthardt on September 30, 2022. With six weeks left in her campaign to unseat a U.S. senator, Kelly Tshibaka turned to what may be the most granular and time-consuming way to win over voters.Wearing running shoes and a drawstring backpack stuffed with campaign flyers, Tshibaka approached houses she identified as occupied by either inconsistent or moderate voters.
“Murkowski’s opponent, Kelly Tshibaka, is a true America First patriot who will never stab Alaska voters in the back,” Trump told an audience of thousands in Anchorage. Tshibaka — an attorney, longtime government bureaucrat and evangelical pastor — says she decided to run after a single Murkowski vote.
When Hughes and Tshibaka spoke — before Murkowski voted to impeach Trump in 2021 — the senator had already done enough to anger the more conservative state party members, including voting against repealing the Affordable Care Act and not supporting Trump’s U.S. Supreme Court justice pick, Brett Kavanaugh.Murkowski had long earned the ire of conservative Republicans for her willingness to cross party lines on issues like abortion access and gun control.
Kelly Tshibaka joins Donald Trump on stage during a rally at the Alaska Airlines Center on July 9, 2022. “The federal government currently has ownership of the vast majority of our state,” she says in her platform. “I will fight to get our land back, for rights to our resources, for our hunters, and to protect our subsistence lifestyle.”‘Questionable hours’
While walking door to door in East Anchorage, U.S. Senate candidate Kelly Tshibaka gets a fist bump from Floyd Damron. The attack ads have put Tshibaka in the center of an ongoing feud between two of the most powerful Republicans in the country — McConnell and Trump — who have disagreed bitterly on their party’s strategy and direction since the Capitol insurrection.
At 19, her conservative views made her unpopular in the liberal Harvard Law School environment. She has claimed repeatedly that she faced death threats as a student, though she has not provided evidence to back up the claim. In 2015, she wrote that “being a visible Christian at work has cost me. It’s cost me job offers and friendships. It’s resulted in false accusations and vindictive vendettas.”
“It’s only vogue to attack Christians who are conservative or charismatic. You would never think it’s OK to replay that with some of the Jewish practices or some of the Muslim practices, and I don’t think it’s OK either. I don’t think faith discriminations is OK,” Tshibaka said after a July campaign event in her headquarters. “We don’t always understand other people’s religious practices, but we aren’t expected to. That’s something that’s deeply personal.
