Dem Senate hopeful racked up hundreds of missed votes during stops at multiple taxpayer serving jobs

Records show Mary Peltola missed significant numbers of votes in the Alaska House of Representatives, Bethel City Council meetings, and the United States Congress during her time in office. Opponents have used these attendance records to raise questions about her commitment to public service while she advances in Alaska’s general election. Her campaign countered by explaining some absences, such as maternity leave, and arguing that she continued to advance bipartisan measures.
