This weekend, lifelong Alaskan Mary Peltola hosted two packed meet and greets in Ketchikan and Prince of Wales to speak directly with Alaskans in the region about the issues most important to them and how she will fight for them as Alaska’s next U.S. Senator.
“Person-to-person, one conversation at a time, I’m traveling to every corner of our state because every Alaskan deserves a voice,” said Mary Peltola. “The skyrocketing cost of fuel, groceries, and housing is making it harder and harder for families in Southeast Alaska and across our state to get by. As an independent voice for Alaska, I’ll fight to ensure the next generation of Alaskans has the same kind of abundance we grew up with.”
At both meet and greets, and in meetings with local community leaders and officials, Mary heard from Alaskans suffering the fallout of DC price hikes who are finding it harder and harder to fill their freezers, afford gas and housing, and make a life in Alaska. She also joined the grand opening of the Ketchikan Indian Community housing facility, Yi Gu.aa Xáx X’wán, speaking with Alaskans about real innovative solutions to tackle the housing crisis that’s pricing Alaska families out.
Across every conversation, the message from Alaskans is clear: the rigged system in DC is harming our Alaska way of life, and they want a senator who will actually restore abundance to our fisheries and put Alaska first.
The tour follows Mary’s announcements of bold plans to lower costs, save our fish, boost oil and gas production, and fix the rigged system in DC that is harming our state, and comes as over 13,000 Alaskans have signed up to help elect Mary to the Senate.
