Rep. Mary Peltola is on the list at Cook Political Reports as being among the top 10 most vulnerable incumbents of the House of Representatives this year.
Polls have shown that Nick Begich, a Republican, has a solid chance to win on Nov. 5.
In addition to Peltola, her two co-chairs of the Rural Antifa Blue Dog Democrat Caucus are on the list — Jared Golden of Maine and Marie Glusenkamp-Perez of Washington state are at risk.
In addition, Roll Call just published a “most vulnerable” list and Peltola is at the top of that list, as well.
The reason Peltola is vulnerable is that she has sided with President Joe Biden, called him the smartest man in Washington, D.C., and she has not been truthful in other ways with Alaskans, taking credit for things that she didn’t have anything to do with, such as the Willow project on the North Slope.
The leaders of the Western Caucus now don’t want anything to do with her, realizing she is using the caucus to try to look moderate.
Her campaign has resorted to saying there will be “zero fish” in Alaska and no children either, if Begich wins. The electorate is seeing past the lies.
Even worse, Peltola’s ads have targeted white men with messages saying if they don’t vote for Peltola, their wives and girlfriends will leave them. She voted to allow men to use women’s locker rooms in schools, but then later told reporters that she is against that.
One of the first indicators that she was in in trouble was in Anchorage at the Alaska Oil and Gas Association candidate forum, when she showed up shaking and nervous, and then read all of her comments word for word from her prepared notes, to the extent that at one point she looked at the moderator and acknowledged she was answering the wrong question.
