This morning, Jan 12, Mary Peltola announced her Senate bid on X. She will run against Republican Senator Dan Sullivan, who has been serving in the U.S. Senate since 2015. Peltola’s announcement focuses on “fixing the rigged system in DC,” claiming that “systemic change is the only way to bring down grocery costs, save our fisheries, lower energy prices, and build new housing Alaskans can afford.” Peltola states, “My agenda for Alaska will always be fish, family, freedom.”
Peltola’s Political Record and Priorities
In 2022, Mary Peltola was elected to the 117th Congress to fill the vacancy left by the death of Representative Donald Edwin Young. She was re-elected to serve a full term in the 118th Congress but lost her bid for re-election in 2024. Readers can find her full voting record here.
According to the Alaska GOP’s “Peltola Files“, Peltola failed in Congress by ignoring President Biden’s mental decline, voting against common-sense border security, voting to reduce penalties for violent crime, failing to show up for various meetings and votes, and promoting transgender ideology.
Peltola’s earlier campaign for Congress shows her political priorities, which largely align with Democrat values: advocating for Alaskan Natives, supporting universal Pre-K and expanded childcare access, backing unions, fighting high food costs and inflation, investing in infrastructure to connect Alaskan rural communities, protecting social security benefits, expanding abortion access, prioritizing environmental protections, lowering healthcare cost and expanding Medicaid, advocating for LGBTQ+ rights, reviving Native language instruction in schools, advocating for higher teacher pay and higher funding for student retention, and advocating for expanded government programs for Veterans.
Good grief this state needs help badly if this brain dead idiot is running for office!!
Lol.
Kamala’s twin sister.
Grifter gonna grift.
I agree 120%
She had her chance at “systemic change” when she was a failed congressman. What makes her think she deserves a promotion?
WELL!!! WELL!!!WELL!!! NoShow Peltola is going to run for Senator for Alaska. And I would be willing to wager what her strategy is going to be. It’s going to be just how to rig the Ranked Choice Voting. And Lisa Murkowski is going to show her how. Anybody want to take the bet? May the Good Lord be with us if she is successful.
Please Alaska, elect this bright moderate and dump arrogant hypocrite Sullivan.
Are you delusional???? Did you get a bad batch of acid? Where were you during her term as a representative? California? Portland? You need to see a therapist, Evan.
“bright”?
Bright?
Examples of her brilliance please.
.
Moderate?
Sure, compared to Omar and AOC, maybe… Compared to actual moderates… Unless you can provide a few examples of Peltola’s moderate stance on any issue.
.
Arrogant?
Peltola is as arrogant, if not more arrogant than Sullivan. Unless you want to demonstrate otherwise.
.
Hypocrite?
Is there a politician… no, wait.. a human being who is not a hypocrite in any way? Peltola included. Please point out that person.
Please Alaska, elect this bright moderate and dump arrogant hypocrite Sullivan.
DUMB, LAZY, WOKE, Mary Peltola? Alaska is not that desperate. Only the dumb, woke, brainwashed Marxists will vote for her. And we outnumber you.
Your singhing, sir, is off key. “Bright moderate” she is not. Happily, we Alaskans, generally, are brighter than she is. And Sullivan is much the brighter person in comparison with the ex-rep.
You love a commie molochite
She’s a gifter and has a room temperature IQ
Only this guy would post this drivel twice. Bright and moderate are two adjectives that I’ve never heard regarding Peltola. Lazy, listless, clueless, yes; bright and moderate, no. Hopefully her Senate run will crush her and any future aspirations for public office – and save Alaska from her buffoonery.
Another recycled politician. Mary has no where else to go so she’s running again. Oh, and just what did she accomplish the first time around? I can’t think of a thing!
Me either..
And tens of thousands of rural Alaskans rejoice because “one of us” is running for Senate. Totally oblivious that Peltola did zero for them, their pocket books and their futures – and will (if elected) continue to do exactly that: nothing.
Oh, HECK no! She needs to jest get a regular job where she can’t interfere with governmental ANYTHING. Keep Peltola out of DC, get Murkowski out of DC when able, keep Sullivan and Begich and let’s GO!
What a joke! 😂😂
The democrat party would have nominated Joseph Stalin if he was alive and a resident. Mary has proven incompetent, partisan, unethical and unqualified. Only someone who hates our state would support her.
I got on the list of all the local pollsters, and for the past three or four months at least once a week I was getting a poll about ‘local issues’ and inevitably a lot of the questions were about Peltola or Sullivan or both.
I answered all the questions as a rich white liberal women, told them Sullivan sucks, and that Peltola should run.
I would like to think that I’m not the only one who Crocketted the polls to convince her to run a losing race.
duh …… she might win.
It’s called name recognition.
Plus ….. I voted DJT 3xs but might not vote GOP in 2026.
Noem (bad proceedures & cluelessness) , what’s happening to J Powell (who DT appointed) and Trumps total lack of Christian values/ethics is why, not to mention the stupid & WASTEFUL decorating/renaming.
If I vote Dem it will be the 1st time since Jimmy Carter (my 1st election)
Your feelings got hurt so you are going to vote stupid?
my feelings are not hurt.
Are you a Democrat They vote w/ their feelings.
Jerome Powell was appointed by DJT. He is smart & knows his stuff.
Trump Admin is dragging him into court to make him quit.
DJT wants to set the banking interest rate to spur the economy before elections.
The Fed ….. the banks ….. the credit card companies should not have our un-learned, self serving politicians control bank rates.
We need Paul Volker & Allen Greenspan (& J Powell) to do that, not Bill Clinton, G. Bush, Barrack Obama or Donald Trump.
Politicians will ruin American banking & investing if we let them.
And look what voting for Carter wrought: The worst presidency up to that time. Of course, FJB has captured that mantle; be thankful the Kackler didn’t win: Even darker days would have ensued.
While I still have a sore point or two with Sully, he genuinely supports responsible resource development as shown in passed legislation he sponsored during the last congress. Mary walked away from bills that were beneficial to Alaska during her tenure in the House; there is no valid reason to support her in this role.
Oh, so Trump did not make the absolute bestest ever pics for some positions. Sounds like a really, really good reason to abandon ship in its entirety.
.
Tell us, do you throw out the entire car because one tire needs air?
CB. You think maybe Secy Defense Hegseth isn’t the bestest? You’d be right. To run the largest military in the world, we’d all be better off without a fully unqualified, insecure podcaster hothead with nuclear weapons. That’s Trump for you and of course his toadies Sullivan and Third.
Bestest? That I do not know. However, what Sec of Defense was the absolute bestest ever? You have a name? I don’t.
.
Hesgeth is doing a pretty good job of getting the military back into fighting condition. It is unrealistic for anyone to agree 100% with the actions of a Cabinet member, but what is the standard you are comparing him to? Who is the best Sec of Defense ever in Evan’s mind? Please share.
“… that begins with fixing the rigged system in DC”
Yep, she’ll fix it just like she did the last time she was in Congress.
Nothing surprises me anymore, she is nothing but a has been. Are Alaskans that Dumb to elect her again? I’m Starting to think so, especially since RCV has been passed a few times.
Lisa will, once again, show us all that middle finger, and assist mary with making it back to DC to steal yet more money fromWE THE PEOPLE. dumb voters, especially the native communities that only think of how she is “one of them” and ignore that Mary gave her ownpeople the middle finger during her tenure as a congressman.
Stupid people, doing stupid voting.
Anyone that votes for Her Hates America and especially Alaska! Please Mary go to Bethel and stay there
Amen!
we need to tell chuckie and dc to stay out of our business.
The “rural Alaskan” who lives in Anchorage wants more government handouts for “her” people.
Her video strongly implies that she hunts and fishes, and lives a subsistence lifestyle in western Alaska.
She’s just another lying, phony, commie politician, making campaign promises she won’t keep.
As she already showed us.
A vote for her is a vote against Alaska.
Squaw.kk Squaw.kk
Dan Sullivan will kick her *ss.
Only if people get out and VOTE!!
As a half-breed, just as Mizz Peltola, I can honestly say she will get demolished if the vote is not rigged.
To my fellow Alaskans, I am so sorry a person like her had to come from our Yupik people! I am so embarrassed! She is not even for the fish, maybe just some for family and freedom.
But she’s a proud Coast Guard mom! We accept your apology.
Thank you so much for accepting my apology! I can assure you most Yupiks are not like her! And for her sons to have the sanity to do service for our country, I believe they got that from their father or fathers( not sure if they have the same father).
Mary Peltola was a partying hoe in DC. Missed half of her floor votes. Stayed out on the town all night prowling. Can’t seem to find a man to pleeze her. And, a rubber stamp for Joe Biden’s policies, including open borders. She’s a complete wacko with no common sense. Sullivan will cream her.
Only way to win is for people to get out and VOTE FOR SULLIVAN!!
Hoe 😂. DC is full of old men who sleep around but that’s what you want to insult her with. At least spell it right. Unless you meant she hosts garden parties? Trump is the biggest “hoe” but it must be ok because he’s a man? Or because he says he’s “Christian”? lol.
Mary Peltola is a box checker. Listen to her campaign promises, straight out of the Democrat playbook. Fix the rigged system in DC? She was part of that rigged system.
Alaska deserves to have a 2nd senator. Ohio does not need 3. Good luck Mary, and good for Alaska.
How many votes was she absent for again? Do you even know?
How many votes did Don Young miss. Do you even know? And yet he was our rep for 30 years…
Who is the moron that told her she could win? Or do they want her to embarrass her self again?
Funny thing is all that gear she is wearing looks clean and new.
Not used and dirty. As if she were dressed up and posing.
Hope that’s not what you base your vote on.
I know that family, Evan.
Much more to base my vote on Lol
Maybe if we elect her she will actually host forums with public questions instead of just republican or private political events? Maybe she would care to have a solution of Alaskans who need to buy health insurance before she cancelled subsides. He is the party in power. Come up with a real solution. Sullivan is radio silent until an election year and then it’s glorified ads and a bunch of invite only events where he can avoid hard questions. Who cares what his party is. What’s he done for Alaskans outside of catering to the military vote (which while important isn’t the whole state). As a libertarian at heart he is such a box checker for the republicans that I kind of want to vomit. Don’t know if she is the right choice but I don’t think he is anymore. Maybe another republican that will talk to the public could run or really cares about small businesses and the middle class vs trickle down economics. He’s a giant coward that runs from hard questions and hyper controls his environment so he can maintain the narrative of competence. He’s now just yet another dude who got rich working in govt. We all deserve better.
We all understand Dan Sullivan is not the bestest Senator ever. But, to elect Peltola, who has a proven track record of doing exactly what you say Sullivan has done wrong is just stupid. It is like replacing your car’s bald tires with a set of bald tires. But, you got them cheap…
CB. You think maybe Secy Defense Hegseth isn’t the bestest? You’d be right. To run the largest military in the world, we’d all be better off without a fully unqualified, insecure podcaster hothead with nuclear weapons. That’s Trump for you and of course his toadies Sullivan and Third.
Seeing as how you repeated your previous comment re: Sec of Defense, I guess you are OK with all the rest of Trump’s cabinet. Otherwise, you would not be a single issue person.
Natives need to stick to their village problems they cause and be thankfull we even help them in the first place, most are useless Neanderthals.
