"...that includes Alaska's U.S. senators, Dan Sullivan and Lisa Murkowski, who may disagree with each other, but both tout Wing-Heier's expertise."

Murkowski likely values Wing-Heier's expertise and may even base her actions in the senate on info she gets from her. But for all the difference Wing-Heier wisdom makes with our junior senator, Dan Sullivan might as well get his healthcare information from the 1st graders at Baxter elementary. 

Dan Sullivan is a reliable vote for whichever abomination of a bill his party vomits up as well as an enthusiastic supporter of virtually everything the incompetent, know-nothing blowhard in White House does so lets not pretend for a second that anything Wing-Heier tells him is going to make a damn bit of difference.
