Hi james,
The path to Democrats retaking the Senate looked uphill indeed until former Congresswoman Mary Peltola announced she was going to challenge MAGA millionaire Dan Sullivan for his critical Alaska Senate seat.
All of a sudden, the map shifted dramatically. Mary Peltola is the first Democrat to win statewide office in Alaska in nearly *fifty* years — and she did it twice! Now she is in prime position to do it again.
A new poll, taken days before her campaign launch, shows Peltola leading Sullivan by 1.5pts — and that’s before people even knew she was running. His current approval rating sits at just 37%, likely thanks to his votes to gut Medicaid, which 32% of Alaskans rely on for their healthcare.
Help elect Mary Peltola to the Senate!
The first Native Alaskan woman to ever be elected to Congress, Mary Peltola can speak directly to your everyday Alaskan in a way that Dan Sullivan, a lawyer from Ohio who rode his father’s corporate billions to the top, just can’t.
Mary is a native Yup'ik who has spent her entire life working for Alaska, beginning as a herring and salmon technician for Fish and Game and rising to eventually work as a state legislator, city councilor, community development manager, and director of the Kuskokwim River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission.
Her core values of fish, family, and freedom have guided her entire career, and now they’re going to drive a winning Senate campaign that will be vital to Democrats retaking the Senate.
If we want to have any chance of reining in ICE, fixing the mess that Republicans have made of Obamacare, protecting our democracy or yes, even impeaching Donald Trump, we need to take back the Senate.
Will you chip in to help elect Mary Peltola and take back our country?
Thanks for all you do,
Your friends at Dose of Democracy
