My name is Mary Peltola, and I'm running for U.S. Senate to fight for fish, family, and freedom – and that begins with fixing the rigged system in DC that’s shutting down Alaska.
We need systemic change if we're going to lower costs, save our fisheries, and fill our homes with abundance again.

Arresting journalists is an outrageous attack on the First Amendment and is a tactic meant to silence the truth.

Independent journalist Georgia Fort was also arrested by federal agents earlier for reporting on the church protest in Minneapolis. She was live streaming when agents arrived to take her into custody.

Not every Tribal citizen is legally an Indian, not everyone that is legally Indian is a Tribal citizen, and Native American denotes ethnicity and not political status. Words have meanings!

Again the world is waking up to horrific news of a killing at the hands of Donald Trump’s untrained federal agents.
Enough was enough before a federal agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good. 50,000+ Minnesotans marched yesterday to demand this violence ends immediately.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s words and actions were driven by love, faith, and a deep commitment to justice.
His legacy of nonviolent resistance shows us the path through this moment. I’m reflecting on that legacy today. Now is the time to honor his dream through courage, compassion, and action.

In first grade, Logan wore his hair long to connect with his Native culture.
His school demanded he cut it, but after Logan and his family pushed back, the school updated its rules to allow for long hair on boys.
