Sullivan Congratulates Mary Peltola on the Special Election to U.S. House of Representatives

ANCHORAGE—U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) issued the following statement congratulating Mary Peltola on winning the special election to represent Alaska in the U.S. House of Representatives:

“I congratulate Mary Peltola on winning the special election to serve out the remaining term of the late, great Congressman Don Young. The three-person Alaska congressional delegation has a long and distinguished record of working together to advance and defend the interests of Alaskans, despite not always agreeing on different aspects of politics and policy. Over the next four months, I am hopeful to be able to work with Representative-elect Peltola on the issues that truly matter to our state—combatting record-high inflation and energy costs, pushing back against the Biden administration’s unprecedented shutdown of our state, slashing job-killing regulations that limit our potential, unleashing Alaska’s vast natural resources with much-needed infrastructure, continuing the important buildup of our military in the Arctic, achieving sustainable and healthy fisheries for all Alaskans, and addressing social issues like our high rates of sexual assault and domestic violence and the mental health challenges that are impacting so many young Alaskans and Americans.”
