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

Democratic nominee Mary Peltola's attendance record includes missing 18.6% of state House votes and 36.67% of Bethel City Council meetings. Critics, including the Republican National Committee, questioned her commitment to public service due to these absences and a lack of successfully sponsored bills. Peltola's campaign defended the missed votes by citing maternity leave and other priorities like fishing.
