just a few weeks ago," said Mary Peltola. "We are running a campaign to represent all
Alaskans, from every corner of the state. I'm proud that our message of securing economic
opportunity, sustainably managing our natural resources, and building strong communities is
resonating with so many Alaskans, especially those who have served before."
