According to Alaska News Source and Alaska Public Media, Murkowski said in a statement on the afternoon of October 27 local time: "Our future is too important to be bound by partisan divisions... Jonathan understands that governing requires listening to different viewpoints and finding common ground to solve the problems everyone faces." She told Alaska News Source that Kreiss-Tomkins is "a young Alaskan whose views and perspectives are exactly what Alaska needs right now," and also said, "We need a governor willing to work with the state legislature."

Speaking about her position within the party, Murkowski said she is "not always on the Alaska Republican Party's good list... my mission is to serve the people of Alaska." Before this, three former governors had jointly endorsed Kreiss-Tomkins: Murkowski's father, Republican Frank Murkowski; independent Bill Walker; and Democrat Tony Knowles.
