The opportunity for Alaska to be represented in Congress by Mary Peltola is exciting. A 48-year old Native woman from Bethel with bipartisan cred and strong support for sustainable fisheries would be refreshing.
Peltola, a former Alaska legislator from Bethel, is highly respected across the state. More important, Peltola is a respectful and responsive listener to all. It’s been a long time since Alaska has had representation that is truly responsive to its constituents.
