Hello -

My name is Mary Peltola, and I want to share with you why I've made the decision to run for the United States Senate in Alaska — and to ask for your support as we begin this journey together.

But if you already understand how important this race and your support are, and you’re ready to become a Founding Donor to our campaign, please use this link to split a contribution today:

Now here’s a bit more on how I came to this decision.

When I was growing up in Bethel, salmon fishing with my father in the summers and dog mushing in the winters, Alaska was a place of abundance.

Now, all across Alaska, we have scarcity.

Multi-national companies are trawling our waters and decimating our fish stocks. The moose, caribou, and migratory birds that used to fill our freezers are harder to find.

So we buy more groceries, where the prices are just crushing Alaska families.

And I've got to tell you, DC people do not care that we are paying 17 bucks for a gallon of milk. They don’t even believe us.

They're focused on their own wallets — not ours.

And when they actually work together on something, it’s usually to help themselves. The rigged system in DC is shutting down Alaska and hurting all of us while politicians and their millionaire and billionaire donors feather their own nest.

It’s why our prices are rising, and our heating bills keep going up. All while the health care and services Alaskans rely on get gutted.

I'm done with politicians getting richer while things get tougher here at home.

Systemic change is the only way to bring down grocery costs, save our fisheries, lower energy prices, and build new housing Alaskans can actually afford.

Systemic change is the only way to fill our homes with abundance again.

My agenda for Alaska will always be: fish, family, freedom. These values have been the core values of my campaigns since the very beginning.

But if we’re going to secure Alaska’s future, we need another priority: fighting corruption.

I'm running for Alaska's Senate seat because it is the fight for our future.

This is going to be one of the closest Senate races of the next election, and I cannot do this alone. There is only one way we’ll be able to win this race… and that is together.

So I am asking:

Please contribute to my campaign for the U.S. Senate and Hold the Line today to become a Founding Donor. We are looking for a huge number of day one donors to get our campaign off to a strong start and put us in a position to win. No donation is too small. They will all add up fast.

Thank you,

Mary
