Rep. Mary Peltola has raised $369,000 in the first quarter of 2023 for her reelection campaign for next year’s congressional race.
She has spent more than $579,000 in the same time period. Much of the spending was on fundraising. She has $483,556 cash on hand, a 30% decrease over what she started with in January.
Peltola’s campaign spent lavishly, and has purchased over 40 airline tickets from Alaska Airlines, eight tickets from American Airlines, more than a dozen tickets from Delta, and tens of thousands of dollars in hotels and catering in Alaska and elsewhere.
She has contracted with GA Campaigns, also known as GrassRoots Analytics, a Washington, D.C. company that also gave its best effort to the Bill Walker/Heidi Drygas campaign for Alaska governor/lieutenant governor last year.
FEC records show Peltola’s campaign, whose treasurer is Democrat former State Rep. Eric Croft, has paid GA Campaigns over $220,000 in the first quarter.
Other than Peltola, no other candidates have filed with the FEC for the 2024 congressional race.
