Why I’m voting for Mary Peltola

(Architect of the Capitol photo)

By Fran Ulmer

If you don’t like the skyrocketing price of gas or diesel or heating oil, vote for Mary.

If you think that reducing inflation is more important than building a golden arch a few blocks from the White House, vote for Mary.

If you are in business and have been hurt by the ever-changing tariffs imposed arbitrarily, vote for Mary.

If you think the costly and destructive war in Iran has gone on too long, vote for Mary.

If you believe Canada is a good neighbor who should be treated with respect instead of being insulted, vote for Mary.

If you are worried about our national debt reaching $40 trillion (for the first time since WW II it is larger than the total U.S. economy), vote for Mary.

If you are worried about the way we are treating our allies undermining trust in the USA, vote for Mary.

If you are disgusted by the violent tactics of ICE agents and disregard for human rights, vote for Mary.

If you expect your U.S. Senator to support and defend the U.S. Constitution, vote for Mary.

Why?

Because our current U.S. senator has done nothing to keep these things from happening and getting worse. Dan Sullivan claims to represent Alaskans, but he doesn’t. He works for special interests, including his own desire for power, regardless of what that does to Alaska or America. Mary has the courage to stand up to the power brokers in D.C. and she will defend the U.S. Constitution which is what has made America great.
