Former Rep. Mary Peltola announced a bid for Senate in Alaska, a major boost to Democrats’ long-shot hopes of winning back the chamber this year.
I made this portrait titled "Mary Peltola — First Alaska Native and Woman to Represent Alaska in US Congress (Unseated in 2024 by Republican)" in 2023. It's made of non-recyclable trash on board.

NEW: Last year, Alaska tried something unique.
It became the first state to use an election system that placed all candidates on the same ballot, with the four top vote-getters, regardless of party, moving to a runoff where voters ranked their preferences.
One purpose was to weed out the extremists poisoning our politics.
It worked splendidly.
Others should try it.
