On this episode, host Elizabeth Harball is joined by Mary Peltola, recently elected as Alaska’s lone member of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Peltola spoke from her hometown of Bethel during a brief visit before heading to Washington, D.C. to be sworn in to fill the term of the late Rep. Don Young. Harball was in Anchorage.

In this interview, Peltola discusses her background, bipartisanship, issues including abortion, gun control and resource development, and what lies ahead for her in Washington during the coming months.
