Mary Peltola rolled out her so-called “Fixing the Rigged System” agenda this week. Here’s what Peltola claims and why her promises mean nothing:
“Setting the Standard: Mary believes that members of Congress should be held to the highest ethical standards possible”
(Peltola used her House committee as a personal slush fund, spending nearly $200k on D.C. hotels and restaurants while she wasn’t campaigning for office and cash-strapped. That’s more than double the average salary in Alaska)
“Shutting Down Self-Enrichment: When members of Congress are elected, they should represent their constituents, not massive corporations or big-money special interests”
(Peltola went to lobby for big-money special interest after she got fired by Alaskans and was making $400k before being fired again)
“Answering to Alaska: Alaskans should be deciding Alaska elections, not dark money special interest groups”
(Peltola only entered the race after dark-money liberal groups spent $5M lying about Sullivan)
“[N]o Lower 48 interest group should be telling us how to vote.”
(Peltola is nearly exclusively soliciting donations from Lower 48 elites)
“Rooting Out DC Waste, Fraud, and Abuse … Alaskans can’t stand waste, fraud, or abuse.”
(Dan Sullivan voted to cut out waste, fraud, and abuse from Medicaid but Peltola and her D.C. allies are attacking him for it)
“Mary Peltola is right that Alaskans deserve transparency, so Peltola should explain why she used Alaskan’s hard-earned money as a personal slush fund to blow through nearly $200k on D.C. hotels and restaurants. Peltola puts herself and Lower 48 liberals first, not Alaska,” said NRSC Regional Press Secretary Nick Puglia.
