Former Alaska representative
❤️#Mary #Peltola announced on Monday she is running for Alaska’s US Senate seat,
handing Democrats a major recruitment victory as the party battles to reclaim the chamber’s majority in this year’s midterm elections.

Peltola, who served as Alaska’s sole House member from 2022 until her narrow defeat in 2024, is considered one of the few Democrats in the Republican-leaning state capable of mounting a 💥serious challenge to Senator Dan Sullivan, who is seeking re-election.

In her campaign announcement video, Peltola positioned herself as a political outsider focused on Alaska-specific concerns,
including the state’s fishing industry and soaring affordability problems.
She resurrected her “fish, family and freedom” slogan from previous campaigns,
pledged to introduce #term #limits for members of Congress
and said she would focus on
“fixing the rigged system in DC”.

“It’s not just that politicians in DC don’t care that we’re paying $17 a gallon for milk in rural Alaska
– they don’t even believe us,” Peltola said in the video.
“They’re more focused on their stock portfolios than our bank accounts."

Dan Sullivan must go, many Alaskans agree on the need for change at the US Senate. Sullivan is so completely out of touch with everyday Alaskans and he just won't do the right thing. Believe me, I have written him loads of letters last year alone. He says one thing and does another.
We all have to chip in and help Mary to unseat him. Join her today!

(caught my eye)

"…a mathematical curiosity lurked in the tallies: If more voters who ranked #Palin first and #Peltola second had instead ranked Peltola first, she could have lost. That’s because ranked choice voting, for all its democratic ambitions, can under certain conditions violate what’s known as monotonicity — meaning that giving a candidate more support can paradoxically cause them to lose…"

Vaasan suomenkielisen seurakunnan uusi kirkkoherra #TeijoPelolta perui kaiken yhteistyön #VaasanSETA n kanssa. Esim. #sateenkaarimessut on peruttu.

Syinä #Peltola mainitsee tiedotteessaan mm.:

"Kirkon työntekijöihin sekä luottamushenkilöihin kohdistuvat sukupuoleen tai seksuaaliseen suuntautumiseen perustuvat työvuorojärjestelyt ovat laittomia."

En ymmärrä tästä: Mitään.

No, ruotsinkielinen seurakunta jatkaa yhteistyötä jatkossakin.
