Last month, the U.S. House passed the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025 with a vote of 218 to 206. Two Democrats joined Republicans in supporting the bill.
Today, Monday March 3rd, it’s the Senate’s turn.
The vote is scheduled this evening on the Senate version of this bill (S. 9), sponsored by Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) and co-sponsored by our own Senator Dan Sullivan.
We applaud President Trump’s recent Executive Order on this subject but we need a federal legislation to provide more permanent protection of women’s and girls’ sports.
CLICK HERE to thank Senator Dan Sullivan, a co-sponsor of the legislation.
“Too many girls and women across our country have had their dreams dashed because the former administration shredded Title IX protections by allowing biological men to compete against them in sports.” said U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan. “Protecting our daughters and granddaughters’ right to fair and safe competition is a civil rights issue, and I’m proud to be an original cosponsor of the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act. Going forward, I look forward to continue working with organizations across the country and in our state – like the Alaska Family Council – to fight back against a culture that is intent on dismantling our values and denying our female athletes the right to stand on the winner’s platform.”
ALASKA WATCHMAN DIRECT TO YOUR INBOX
In 2021, Senator Murkowski was the only Republican to vote against an amendment to a COVID relief bill that would have protected female athletes. Alaska Family Council reached out to Murkowski’s office but haven’t heard anything back as of this writing. CLICK HERE to contact Senator Murkowski and encourage her to vote YES on S.9 to protect girls from having to compete against boys in athletics.
Title IX, enacted in 1972, was created, in part, to carve out a space for women in the athletic world. In 1972, only 300,000 women nationwide participated in high school athletics. Today, estimates are that more than 3.2 million high school girls are involved in sports. At the collegiate level, there are almost 230,000 female athletes. These women have worked tirelessly to be competitive in their respective sports.
Sadly, gender ideology is destroying the space that Title IX created for women’s sports. Examples are piling up of female athletes losing to males, missing out on titles and opportunities, and having their privacy and safety violated – athletes like Riley Gaines, Selina Soule, and Payton McNabb, just to name a few. One estimate found that nearly 900 female athletes worldwide have lost medals to male competitors.

i have written Senator Sullivan thanking him for his co-sponsoring of this bill. Truly, it is a waste of my time to write Murkowski. She has already gone off the edge and joined the left.
Clearly the commenters here have gone off the rails and speak for Russia. If Russia seizes Alaska I promise you your quality of life will suffer. Trump is already cutting medicaid. Go look on youtube to see what lige is like in rural Russia. No nursing homes, no homecare aids. Trump is working to overthrow the government that has protected you and your interests, in exchange for a Russian payout that wont be shared with you.
Seeing that your post is at 4:34 am maybe you should take your meds and go back to sleep. Then when you wake up again hopefully they will have kicked in and you won’t sound so off-the-rails paranoid.
The problem with writing Lisa is she no longer cares what her constituents have to say. Lisa thinks she’s a Queen.
I stopped sending messages to Murkowski,.. quite a while back… The only responses she could/would send back, were condescending in nature, and holier than thou… Never actually addressing my questions.. My messages didn’t fit into the leftist, democrat agendas. I hope to live long enough to vote, and kick her snarky butt out of office.
The only positive in having Murkowski run as a Republican is she gives the Republican’s one more body in the Senate. Other than that, she is a disgrace as a Republican. I am embarrassed that she represents Alaska. If Republicans would get off their lazy butts and vote she would be voted out!
Transgender high school kids — probably there isnt even one transgender kid in Alaska? Or maybe one? But Alaska is close to Russia. Allowing Russia and the USA to betray our agreements to protect and defend Ukraine, indermining our global trade agreements with tariffs, weakening and shutting down the agencies that keep our government functioning: the are all treasonous moves that an enemy of our country is doing to destroy, not help, our country and our people. Trump is a criminal, like Putin, and he must be stopped before he puts us on the losing side of WW3
here’s a message that’s worth my effort to write. MINNERY AND DUNLEAVY NEED A COLLECTIVE KICK IN THE ARSE AND GIVEN A ONE WAY TICKET! Cs Lewis makes reference to men with no chest! ie. men without manhood! WHAT ARE THEY GOOD FOR? THEY’VE BEEN GIVEN THE POSITIONS AND ACCOMPLISH NOTHING!
I have no use for Murkowski . She has proven time and again the she is a lier and can not be trusted to do not only the right thing , but what a normal person would do. Protecting sports for women and girls against male perverts should be a no brainer. Unless like her , you actually don’t have one.
