Mary Peltola: Record vs. Campaign Claims (Alaska Senate 2026)

Voter guide

Background, stated goals, record, and money

Goals come from the campaign's own platform. Record lines are official actions.

How this guide is built

Background comes from official records, and from the campaign's own biography where the bullet says so; goals are summarized from the campaign's own platform and stay attributed; the record lines are official actions with the government source attached; money is shown as filed, with the filings it covers in the note under the table, and is not evidence of why any position was taken.

Mary Peltola

Background

Alaska's member of the U.S. House from 2022 to January 2025; Congress.gov lists her as Mary Sattler Peltola.
Her pamphlet statement lists ten years in the Alaska House of Representatives (1999 to 2009), two on the Bethel City Council (2011 to 2013), and work as executive director of the Kuskokwim River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission.
She grew up fishing salmon on the Kuskokwim River and describes herself as a lifelong Alaskan, a fisherman and a military mom; two of her sons have served in the Coast Guard.
Placed first in the August 18, 2026 primary with 82,244 votes, 49.54 per cent.

What they say they want to do

Twelve-year term limits for Congress, a ban on stock trading by members, and a constitutional amendment overturning Citizens United.
A ban on factory trawling, with mid-water trawlers kept off the bottom and federal bycatch standards enforced.
No federal income tax for working Alaskans earning less than $92,000, paid for by higher taxes on millionaires and billionaires, and no tax on Social Security benefits.
More refining of Alaska oil in the state, the Alaska LNG pipeline, and permitting reform.
A stronger VA health system, more mental health care for veterans, and a transition stipend of up to $2,000 a month for recently separated veterans.

What the official record shows

Sep 29, 2022 Her Food Security for All Veterans Act, H.R. 8888, passed the House 376 to 49 with her vote; the Senate referred it to committee.
Dec 23, 2022 Voted Yea on the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, the year-end spending law that carried the University of Alaska land program.
Mar 30, 2023 Voted Nay on H.R. 1 of 2023, the Lower Energy Costs Act, which passed the House 225 to 204. She voted Yea on three other oil and gas bills: H.R. 22 on Strategic Petroleum Reserve sales to China in 2023, and H.R. 7176 on natural gas exports and H.R. 1121 against a presidential ban on fracking in 2024; and Nay on H.R. 6009, on a Bureau of Land Management leasing rule.
Dec 14, 2023 Voted Yea on the conference report of the Fiscal Year 2024 defense authorization, having voted Nay on the House's own version in July. Her campaign says that Nay was a vote against Republican amendments added to the bill.
May 1, 2024 Voted Present on passage of the Alaska's Right to Produce Act, H.R. 6285, a bill she had cosponsored at its introduction; it passed 214 to 199. On the floor she said it would nullify the Northern Bering Sea Climate Resilience Area, and she introduced her own version, H.R. 8214, that day.

Money from political committees in the 2025-2026 cycle filings through July 29, 2026: filing lines 11B (party committees), 11C (other political committees) and 12 (transfers from joint fundraising committees), grouped by the FEC's recorded type of the contributing committee. Each line's itemized rows reconcile to the campaign's own summary total: $1,500.00 on line 11B, $602,145.64 on line 11C and $1,648,275.45 on line 12, for a table total of $2,251,921.09. Memo entries, which restate money already counted, are left out. Donations individuals made through ActBlue or WinRed are individual contributions and are not in the table, and neither is any other individual contribution: the table is a part of what her committee raised, not its total. The rows sum to 2,251,921.09 dollars.

Legal help for domestic violence survivors: her House POWER 2.0 bill

Matches stated record claim

What they say

Her campaign lists among her record that she sponsored House legislation giving survivors of domestic violence pro bono legal services, which later became law through an identical Senate companion bill.

What the record shows · Dec 20, 2022

Her House bill never moved. The Senate bill with the same key text had passed the Senate before she filed hers; she led it in the House and voted for it, and it became law in December 2022.

Quotes, full record and limits

What they say

“which was later signed into law via an identical Senate companion bill”

What the record shows · Dec 20, 2022

She introduced H.R. 9113, the POWER 2.0 Act, on September 30, 2022; it was referred to a House Judiciary subcommittee and went no further. Its operative section is word for word the section of the Senate bill that became law: both strike “for a period of 4 years” from section 3(a) of the 2018 POWER Act, so that its pro bono program no longer expires. That Senate bill, S. 3115, was sponsored by Dan S. Sullivan, introduced on October 28, 2021 and passed by the Senate on August 6, 2022, before her House bill existed. In the House debate, Representative Jerrold Nadler thanked her “for leading the House version” and called her “the House sponsor of the bill”. The House passed S. 3115 on December 1, 2022, 406 to 14, with her vote (roll call 499), and it became Public Law 117-252 on December 20, 2022.

Limit: Her campaign's sentence is accurate. The Senate bill, sponsored by Dan S. Sullivan, came first and had passed the Senate eight weeks before she filed hers. In the House she was named its sponsor, spoke for it and voted for it. Both candidates claim this law; each claim has its own card.

The FISHES Act

She was the first cosponsor listed on the FISHES Act, which became law in January 2025; the official record tracks cosponsor order, not a party lead.

What they say

Her campaign says she was the lead Democratic co-sponsor of the FISHES Act, which became law in 2025 and helps get fishery disaster relief to fishermen.

“Was the lead Democratic co-sponsor of the FISHES Act”

What the record shows · Jan 4, 2025

Congress.gov lists her as the first original cosponsor of H.R. 5103, the FISHES Act, introduced by Representative Byron Donalds of Florida on August 1, 2023; she signed on the day it was introduced. It became Public Law 118-229 on January 4, 2025.

Limit: Congress.gov records the order in which members cosponsor, not a party lead; being first on the list is consistent with “lead Democratic co-sponsor” without proving the title. The law's effect on how quickly disaster money reaches fishermen is not something its text or this record measures.

Mary Peltola

Laws she cosponsored

Matches stated record claim

What they say

Her campaign lists five laws she cosponsored: the Native American Child Protection Act (2024), the Protecting Hunting Heritage and Education Act (2023), the Social Security Fairness Act (2025), the Range Access Act as part of the EXPLORE Act (2025), and the Strengthening Tribal Families Act as part of a larger package (2025).

What the record shows · Jan 5, 2025

She cosponsored all five, and all became law, two inside larger bills, one of those in modified form; she was listed as not voting when the first two passed the House.

Quotes, full record and limits

What they say

“Co-sponsored the Social Security Fairness Act which became law in 2025”

What the record shows · Jan 5, 2025

Each checks out as described. She cosponsored H.R. 663, which became Public Law 118-160 on December 23, 2024; H.R. 5110, which became Public Law 118-17 on October 6, 2023; and H.R. 82, which became Public Law 118-273 on January 5, 2025, after she voted Yea on its House passage. The Range Access Act she cosponsored, H.R. 1614, stopped in subcommittee, but the same text is section 123 of the EXPLORE Act, Public Law 118-234 of January 4, 2025, which she cosponsored from its introduction. The Strengthening Tribal Families Act she cosponsored, H.R. 3461, stopped in subcommittee; provisions to the same end, in modified form, are in the Supporting America's Children and Families Act, Public Law 118-258 of January 4, 2025, which she voted for. On House passage of the first two, the Clerk records her as Not Voting.

Limit: Cosponsoring is signing on to a bill, not writing it, and the campaign says “co-sponsored”, which is accurate for all five. Two of them reached law inside other bills, as the campaign says; the enacted tribal-families provisions follow the purpose of the bill she signed but are not identical to it. She did not vote when the first two passed the House.

Mary Peltola

Land for the University of Alaska

Matches stated record claim

What they say

Her campaign says she led the charge on legislation to grant hundreds of thousands of acres of federal land to the University of Alaska, and that thanks to her it was incorporated into the Fiscal Year 2023 Consolidated Appropriations Act and signed into law.

What the record shows · Dec 29, 2022

The land program is in the 2023 act and she voted for it, but her bill came 17 days before signing, while the same program had sat in the Senate for 20 months.

Quotes, full record and limits

What they say

“Thanks to Mary, this legislation was re-packaged and incorporated into the FY 2023 Consolidated Appropriations Act”

What the record shows · Dec 29, 2022

She introduced H.R. 9496, the Alaska Land Conveyances and Trails Act, on December 12, 2022. Its University of Alaska program is in section 302 of Division DD of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, Public Law 117-328, signed December 29, 2022: up to 500,000 acres of State-selected land identified, of which not more than 360,000 acres may be conveyed to the University. She voted Yea on that act on December 23, 2022 (House roll call 549). The same program had been before the Senate since April 14, 2021 as S. 1128, the University of Alaska Fiscal Foundation Act, sponsored by Senator Lisa Murkowski with Dan S. Sullivan as an original cosponsor.

Limit: The provision she names became law in the act she names, and she voted for it. “Thanks to Mary” says she caused that, and the record cannot show it: her bill was introduced seventeen days before the act was signed and was never acted on, while the same program had been in the Senate for twenty months.

The 2024 military pay raise

Not comparable yet

What they say

In a campaign ad she says she pushed through the largest pay increase for soldiers in decades; her campaign elsewhere puts it at 5.2 per cent.

What the record shows · Dec 14, 2023

The fiscal 2024 law, passed in 2023, set no pay rate; the 5.2% raise came from an existing formula. She voted for the fiscal 2025 law, passed in 2024, which did set pay.

What they say

In a campaign ad she says she pushed through the largest pay increase for soldiers in decades; her campaign elsewhere puts it at 5.2 per cent.

“That’s why I pushed through the largest pay increase for our soldiers in decades.”

What the record shows · Dec 14, 2023

The defense authorization for Fiscal Year 2024, Public Law 118-31, sets no rate of basic pay: its basic-pay subtitle has three sections, on parental leave for reservists, reserve training pay, and pay during an absence. When a year's law sets no figure, the raise follows the standing formula in 37 U.S.C. 1009, tied to the Employment Cost Index. On the Act itself she voted Nay on the House's version on July 14, 2023 (roll call 328) and Yea on the final conference report on December 14, 2023 (roll call 723). The next year's act, for Fiscal Year 2025, Public Law 118-159, did set basic pay by statute: its section 601 put new monthly basic pay tables into effect on April 1, 2025, and its funding table carries $1.6 billion for a junior enlisted pay increase. She voted Aye on the House's version on June 14, 2024 (roll call 279) and Yea on the final bill on December 11, 2024 (roll call 500).

Limit: The Fiscal Year 2024 law has no pay provision for her, or anyone, to have pushed through: that year's raise, the 5.2 per cent her campaign cites, came from a formula already in statute. The Fiscal Year 2025 law did set pay rates by statute and she voted for it at both stages, so the ad's words could be read to cover that raise, though her campaign's own gloss does not mention it. Her campaign's fact-check page quotes her July 2023 explanation of the Nay, a vote against Republican amendments added to the House bill: “We shouldn’t be pitting pay raises that they [military members] deserve against the reproductive freedoms that they also deserve.” A vote shows support for a bill; whether any member “pushed through” a raise is not something a vote can settle.

Money for Alaska military bases

Matches stated direction

What they say

Her campaign says she delivered over $150 million for Alaska military bases: $107 million for Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, $34 million for housing at Fort Wainwright, $9.5 million for housing at Eielson Air Force Base, and $6.1 million for Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson.

What the record shows · Dec 22, 2023

She voted for the fiscal 2024 law authorizing $157.1 million for four base projects. Spending records name other requesters, rather than establishing that she delivered the money.

Quotes, full record and limits

What they say

“Delivered over $150 million in funding for Alaska military bases”

What the record shows · Dec 22, 2023

All four figures are in the military construction table, section 4601, of the Fiscal Year 2024 defense authorization, Public Law 118-31, whose final version she voted for (roll call 723): $107,500,000 to extend a runway at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson and $34,000,000 to complete enlisted unaccompanied housing at Fort Wainwright, both in the President's budget request; and $9,500,000 to plan and design a permanent-party dormitory at Eielson Air Force Base and $6,100,000 to plan and design a precision-guided-missile complex at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, both added by Congress. The four sum to $157,100,000. Neither added amount was in the bill the House passed in July 2023. The same two projects, at the same amounts, were funded in that year's military construction appropriations as Senate congressionally directed spending: the Senate Appropriations Committee's report names Senator Lisa Murkowski as the requester of both, and the final explanatory statement, printed in the Congressional Record on March 5, 2024, lists her in its Senate column with no House requester. On those appropriations she voted Nay on the House's own bill in July 2023 (roll call 380) and Yea on the final package in March 2024 (roll call 64).

Limit: The amounts are real and she voted for the laws that carry them. The section 4601 figures are authorizations, which permit spending; the appropriations provide it. The published record names who asked for each amount, and it is not her: two were in the President's request, and the two Congress added were requested in the Senate by Senator Murkowski, with the House requester column blank. So the record shows the money arriving in bills she voted for, not that she delivered it. Whether “delivered” still earns this label is put to the owner.

Oil and gas development and the Willow project

No assessment

What they say

Her campaign says she has consistently stood up to anyone, including President Biden, to promote oil and gas development and secure approval of the Willow oil project.

What the record shows · May 1, 2024

She cosponsored a drilling bill, voted Present over a provision and filed her own, then split on other oil/gas bills. Willow was an agency decision; both senators praised her work.

Her campaign says she has consistently stood up to anyone, including President Biden, to promote oil and gas development and secure approval of the Willow oil project.

“consistently standing up to anyone – including Joe Biden – to promote oil and gas development, secure approval of the Willow Oil Project”

What the record shows · May 1, 2024

She was an original cosponsor of H.R. 6285, the Alaska's Right to Produce Act of 2023, introduced November 8, 2023, and voted Present when the House passed it on May 1, 2024 (roll call 174). On the floor that day she said she still supported the bill's intent but that it would nullify the Northern Bering Sea Climate Resilience Area, and she introduced her own version the same day, H.R. 8214, which would void any pause on oil and gas leasing in the Coastal Plain. On the other House bills of her term about oil and gas leasing, production or export, she voted Yea on H.R. 22, barring Strategic Petroleum Reserve sales to buyers tied to China (January 12, 2023, roll call 31), on H.R. 7176, lifting restrictions on natural gas exports (February 15, 2024, roll call 52), and on H.R. 1121, barring a presidential moratorium on fracking (March 20, 2024, roll call 93); Nay on H.R. 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act (March 30, 2023, roll call 182), and on H.R. 6009, withdrawing a Bureau of Land Management rule on oil and gas leasing (March 20, 2024, roll call 95); and did not vote on H.R. 21, the Strategic Production Response Act (January 27, 2023). The Willow approval was an Interior Department decision, on which no member of Congress voted. On the Senate floor on March 8, 2023, Dan S. Sullivan thanked her for “a really strong job” on Willow, “particularly in the meeting last week with the President”. On March 14, 2023, Senator Lisa Murkowski named her in “a united delegation” that led the effort.

Why there is no assessment here

The record points both ways. On Willow, both Alaska senators said on the Senate floor that she helped lead the push, including at a meeting with the President. On oil and gas bills, she voted for three, against two, missed one, and voted Present on one she had cosponsored because of one provision. Votes on single bills cannot settle “consistently”, so no label is given.

Limit: The votes listed are every House passage vote of her term on a bill whose text is about oil and gas leasing, production or export, found by searching the Clerk's roll-call titles for 2022 to 2024; votes on other land and energy rules are left out, such as the WEST Act on a Bureau of Land Management conservation rule, on which she voted No (roll call 165 of 2024). They are votes on particular bills rather than on the claim, which is about advocacy.

What they say

Her campaign announced a $7 million second quarter of 2026.

“Mary Peltola announced a $7 million second quarter haul”

What the record shows · Jun 30, 2026

Her principal committee, Alaskans for Mary, reported $6,913,876.92 in receipts for April 1 to June 30, 2026, which rounds to the $7 million announced.

Limit: The second-quarter figure matches the filing. The campaign's first-quarter 2026 announcement, $8.9 million, is not settled by the principal committee's report, which shows $8,661,662.38 in receipts for January 1 to March 31, 2026, $238,337.62 less. The announcement does not say whether it counts money raised through a joint fundraising committee; if it does, the principal committee's report would not show all of it yet, and adding the committees' reports together would count transfers twice. So the first-quarter figure is not settled here in either direction.
