Over the past week, Peltola’s lack of experience and political courage has been brought to the forefront. Faced with difficult decisions, she has floundered as her reelection approaches, optingto side with Joe Biden and her political funders rather than stand up for her state and crossparty lines. It’s embarrassing that our state must rely on members from Minnesota to fight for Alaska and pass legislation that will help grow our economy and overturn Joe Biden’s disastrous Arctic National Wildlife Refuge decision.
Peltola is not showing up for Alaska, both literally and figuratively. She can’t even retain staff. Her lack of experience and conviction is under the spotlight. It’s not only embarrassing for our state, it threatens our economic success and potential.
