Today marks one year since President Trump and Senator Dan Sullivan passed the Alaska Opportunity Act to allow hardworking Alaskans to keep more of what they earned. But Mary Peltola opposed this historic Alaska First legislation.
“While Senator Dan Sullivan puts Alaska First and continues delivering with lower taxes and higher paychecks, Mary Peltola wants to take more of Alaskans’ hard earned money from them while she uses her campaign accounts as a personal slush fund to jet-set around the Lower 48,” said NRSC Regional Press Secretary Nick Puglia.
In case you missed it, the NRSC released a new digital ad condemning Mary Peltola for prioritizing free healthcare for illegal aliens over tax relief for hardworking Alaskans.
