Democrat Rep. Mary Peltola has a failing grade from the American Energy Alliance scorecard. The energy group gave Sen. Dan Sullivan a perfect score of 100, and Sen. Lisa Murkowski got a score of 75 this year. But Peltola was only given a 37 out of 100 points based on her record of voting, scoring far worse than the average member of Congress.
Peltola repeatedly voted with Biden-Harris and far-left eco-activists against Alaska, including refusing to even vote for the Alaska’s Right to Produce Act, but simply marking herself “present.”
“Extreme Democrat Mary Peltola betrayed Alaska’s future to curry favor with San Francisco liberals. Peltola’s shameful F-minus grade underscores she’d rather cozy up to Biden, Harris and the radical Left than fight for Alaska jobs and energy freedom,” NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen said in a statement.
Peltola’s predecessor Congressman Don Young received a grade of 80 during his final year in office and an 89 during the 2010-2020 year.
The following core principles guide the American Energy Scorecard process as the group scores representatives and senators on their votes on different energy-related bills:
- Promoting affordable, abundant, and reliable energy
- Expanding economic opportunity and prosperity, particularly for working families and those on fixed incomes
- Giving Americans, not Washington bureaucrats, the power to make their own energy choices
- Encouraging private sector innovation and entrepreneurship
- Advancing market-oriented energy and environment policies
- Reducing the role of government in energy markets
- Eliminating the subsidies, mandates, and special interest giveaways that lead to higher energy costs
