Future Caucus, a national left-leaning political activist organization, has bestowed special honors on U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, State Rep. Justin Ruffridge and State Sen. Löki Tobin for pushing “bi-partisan policies” that align with group’s mission
While Future Caucus’ website says it exists to “activate young leaders to bridge the partisan divide and transform American politics,” the organization supports radical, hard-leftist political goals, including extreme elements of the LGBTQ agenda.
Tobin is one of the more radical leftist Democrat lawmakers in Juneau. Future Caucus also honored her last year, along with then-Sen. David Wilson of Wasilla.
Murkowski and Ruffridge, however, are both Republicans who have demonstrated they are willing to break with their GOP colleagues to back Democrat policies and legislation. Ruffridge represents the Soldotna area in the State House.
Formerly known as the Millennial Action Project (MAP), Future Caucus recently rebranded its name. Influence Watch, however, notes that while the group claims to be nonpartisan, it “is funded by left-of-center nonprofit groups and promotes many left-of-center policy goals, especially liberal expansionist immigration policy, government job training programs, environmentalist regulations, and gun control. MAP has organized legislators in Congress and at the state-level to form voting blocs to pass targeted bills.”
ALASKA WATCHMAN DIRECT TO YOUR INBOX
On Nov. 18 in Washington, D.C., Murkowski received the Jacob K. Javits Prize for Bipartisan Leadership, honoring her long history of “cross-partisan collaboration,” an announcement from Future Caucus stated.
State legislators Tobin and Ruffridge received the Collective Impact Award for their joint efforts to help successfully override Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s vetoes of massive increases in state education funding, legislation that was criticized by conservatives for unleashing historic spending on a failing education system.
Future Caucus praised the three Alaska lawmakers for being “rising stars” that “transcend political polarization by advancing bipartisan policies that address critical issues for their constituents and the nation.”
“It is truly an honor to be recognized with the Cherisse Eatmon Collective Impact Award,” Ruffridge stated. “This award recognizes it takes colleagues working together to identify compromise solutions on education funding and policy reforms that benefit Alaskan children.”
Tobin said the award highlights the importance of “collaboration” in bringing about “meaningful change that benefits all Alaskans.”

“Murkowski and Ruffridge, however, are both Republicans who have demonstrated”… they adhere to the RINO philosophy.
Remember that the Alaska GOP has gone all out supporting this mayhem and these same people with their purpose. Alaska GOP has rewarded Murkowski time and again showing a direct “spit in the eye” attitude to the State’s republicans.
It isn’t Republicans that are putting Lisa in office, it’s the liberals and the native communities. Lisa makes sure her native communities get lots of free stuff to keep them happy. She’s following in the footsteps of Uncle Teddy.
It’s is sad that lying is so prevalent among politicians. The other sad thing is that leftists tend to build themselves up among other leftists. These are Marxists and Marxists do not have the value of telling the truth. Ii is important to find out who is awarding and for what. These politicians represent the worst in Congress and the worst in our legislature who are making sure someone awards them. These so-called awards are given out to un American politicians who have their own agendas that have nothing to do with returning Alaska and the U.S. to the Rule of Law, Ten Commandments and the Bill of Rights. Our state seems to be an extension of the DC swamp. Then we can not expect these three to be any more than “swamp creatures.! There are truly people who should be honored including our Governor who has put up these most recent groups of Marxist legislators. Others to be honored in this state are Shelley Hughes, Robb Myers, Jamie Allard, Cathy Tilton, Frank Tomaszewski, Mike Prax. These are only a few of the many other good legislators who understand integrity and having a sense of duty to our state and country. Those are the ones that are trustworthy and should be honored. The ones to honor also are those who understand the work ethic and how to budget. .
Proud of a barf award?
I think Murkowski and Ruffridge need to be more transparent about why Italian Brainrot Clicker supports groups with such extreme goals.
Dump Them Both!
Ruffridge (although he will adamantly deny it and try to whitewash his record) is just another RINO. If he was not, he would push this “award” back in their faces, but sadly his liberal side comes out all the time. He really needs to be voted out of office and just mind his over-priced drug dispensing.
Lisa needs to go! Please go away.
