Congressman Pete Stauber of Minnesota has a few words for Alaskans who are being told by Rep. Mary Peltola that she should get credit for the Biden Administration’s approval of the Willow project on the North Slope.
Stauber says she is lying.
“Alaskans need to remember that it was Donald Trump that approved the Willow Project, not Joe Biden,” Stauber said. “In fact, it was the Biden-Harris Administration that halted this project in its tracks and ultimately curtailed the scope and size of the project. While Rep. Peltola may have voiced her concern about the Biden-Harris Administration’s attempt to stop the project, it was Democrats who jeopardized its future in the first place.”
Biden finally allowed the project to go forward after being warned by federal attorneys that he would lose in court.
“I know that Nick Begich will stand with the people of Alaska against the overreach by out-of-touch Washington Democrats,” Stauber said.
Peltola is being challenged by Begich, a Republican, in what is one of the most watched congressional races in the country. He is pro-business, pro-freedom, and pro-Alaskan. Peltola has been coopted by the Democratic National Committee and its subsidiaries, which are anti-oil, anti-freedom, and anti-Alaska. Her anti-Alaska votes are demonstrated by the 18 times she voted for New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries for House Speaker.
Earlier this year, when Stauber tried to help Alaska’s economy by sponsoring the Alaska’s Right to Produce Act, Peltola double-crossed him and burned the olive branch he was trying to extend to her across the political aisle.
After signing on as a sponsor, she refused to vote for the legislation to open back up the oil patch on the North Slope, and she slipped a note to her Democrat colleagues, telling them to vote against her own bill, which pass the Republican-led House.
