Dem Senate hopeful racking up hundreds of missed votes at taxpayer-funded jobs surfaces

Democratic Senate nominee Mary Peltola, former Rep. from Alaska, missed nearly one in five votes in the Alaska House of Representatives and more than a third of Bethel City Council meetings during her time at taxpayer serving jobs. This raises concerns about her reliability and commitment to public service. The missing votes occurred while she was working as a part-time legislative aide, city council member, and director of the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation. Her record has sparked questions about her preparedness for the Senate.
