So, how did she manage to pull off a win against a Trump-picked firebrand like Sarah Palin? Courage and kindness. Mary ran a relentlessly upbeat campaign centered on kindness, compassion, and honesty – something that we’re also doing here in Vermont. Like me, she believes that respect is a fundamental part of getting things done, no matter how different your views may be from those of your colleagues. It’s about results – not rhetoric. After Mary’s stunning victory in last Wednesday’s special election, Cook Political Report just moved Alaska’s November Congressional race to a toss-up!

In a district that Trump won by ten points in 2020, Mary delivered a two-point victory in a statewide election – giving Democrats another seat in Congress in a year when our majority is razor-thin. Democrats are competing and winning in districts that were written-off as “too red” just months ago – and they’re winning on a platform of courage and unapologetic pro-choice policies. We LOVE to see it. [{NAME}, will you split a $10 contribution between Mary Peltola’s campaign to protect Democrats’ newest House seat in Alaska and our campaign for the Democratic majority?
