In her latest email request for funds from her supporters, Rep. Mary Peltola for the first time admitted that she is losing her race for reelection to Congress.
“I hate coming to you with bad news, but with just 14 days until the election, I have no choice. A new poll shows me losing to my extremist opponent, Nick Begich,” Peltola wrote on Tuesday. She showed an image that has her with 40% support and Nick Begich with 44% support, and she stated that 16% are undecided.
“I’m not going to sugarcoat this: It looks like the millions that Mike Johnson and his super PAC are pouring into Alaska to lie about me and my record are working,” Peltola said, lying once again to voters. She has ten times the campaign treasury that Begich has.
“But here’s the good news: This poll shows that 16% of voters are still undecided. So this race will be won by whoever gets to those undecided voters first!
Then she asks people to donate $10 to $50.
“… my campaign team and I are reaching Alaskans by foot, by mail, by TV, and phone. But to reach every undecided voter and win, I need you to fuel our campaign in these last 14 days. So please, will you split $25 between the Alaska Democratic Party and my campaign to help me win over undecided voters and defy the odds once again in November?,” Peltola’s campaign writes in an email coordinated with the Democratic Party.
Peltola must have her own secret polling, because what she is telling Alaskans in this email does not add up to the polls published in September and October by the National Republican Congressional Committee. Her numbers are off. Only 10% are undecided.
Peltola is either not being honest with voters or has her own polling data that she is not detailing.
All fall, Peltola has been spending money on “feasts” that she has been holding around the state with her supporters, and earlier this fall she had a “FREE BEER!” sign on the window of her campaign headquarters in Fairbanks.
At the end of the third quarter, Peltola had over $3.3 million cash on hand, compared to Nick Begich, who had $440,700 in his campaign account.
This is typical GREED. It shows that Peltola is only concerned about herself first.
Vote for Nick Begich 3, congressman for ALL of Alaska.
Classic liberal scam: built up the war chest as you are loosing then keep all the cash for yourself and not return it to the donors.
Peltola needs more than just cash. She needs to get l*yed. Men seem to run from her. The word has gotten out about her husband hunting.
ITS FORGIVENESS & A TRULY REPENTED HEART SHE & LISA & THE JUDGE SHOULD BE SEEKING. SO RANK & LA LA LA LA LA LA LAFRANCE IS JUST FLAT OUT STUCK ON STUPID FAKE SUCKS. Suzanne than you for exposing Chuck Kopp ma’am fake sucks
Mary is losing because Nick is a man of substance.
He’s traveled to pretty much every single town and village in the state, facing the voters in person, and answering every single question they throw at him.
Mary on the other hand, is elusive and seldom seen, but has her staff try to woo voters by throwing parties with “free beer and hotdogs!”, and by also filling the airwaves with ads that are outright, bald faced lies.
Nick doesn’t need lies, the truth works better for him.
I remember Sean Parnell coming to our village for graduation. I drove him to the airport. That doesn’t mean the village voted for him. Hope your not dissatisfied come election day.
What does driving Sean parnell to a airport have to do with Mary peltola loading her pockets with cash? We know she has taught the villagers to scribble peltola. Doesn’t mean she will win on just that.
If you read tim’s response, he says that nick went to every village in the state and presumably, he was assuming that guarantees him a victory. Since sean parnell lost that election and I know for a fact that the village he visited did not vote for him,That isn’t a foregone conclusion.
I still don’t think a couple villages not voting for nick sinks his campaign. On another topic what’s going on in the local Florida vote? Who are you voting for, what’s on your ballot? Why don’t you send a link to a local comment section in your community you comment on. Let us Alaskans come chime in on your local politics.
Once an Alaskan always an Alaskan. 15 years in the bush is in my blood. It may shock you to find out the number of out of state folks, some from Florida are on here. It’s interesting and you are one of my favorites. Cheers.
Hats off to chauffer Forkner. Soon you can chauffer citizen Mary Peltola around Bethel. But be careful. She’s on the prowl . ….even for old duffers like you.
I wouldn’t vote for her. I’m taken.
She knows she is losing so she is filling her pockets as much as she can for retirement
How much”walking around money” is allocated for vote purchases??
This is unbelievable. The next thing you know she’s going to be selling Peltola sneakers, wristwatches, trading cards, NFTs… What a grifter!
Peltola’s lies are beyond the pale even for a grifter and politician.
Excuse my ignorance, but what exactly does happen to campaign money after an election? The candidates just get to keep it with no strings attached?
You give it back, or pay yourself back if you loaned yourself money.
That’s my question TOO!!!!! I was going to post that remark and you beat me to it!!
In some cases.
Offices stay open for as long as 6 months. Finishing up things so bills have to be paid and that money would do that. And then possibly you could reallocate it to another candidate or to the party, but there are rules involved.You don’t get to just take it home and go to disneyland.
You make up phony invoices and pocket the money!
I think the candidate can donate it to a Party campaign fund. So, if Peltola has millions left over, the DNCC can receive that, and it can be used in the next election.
I do know the candidate is not allowed to just pocket it.
She should lose simply because of her leftist/socialist ideology. Personal criticism and vitriolic comments are irrelevant, unnecessary, and beneath our dignity.
