NRCC Statement on AK-AL Primary Election
August 21, 2024
WASHINGTON – The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) released the following statement on Alaska’s at-large Congressional district primary election results:
“Extreme Democrat Mary Peltola talks a good game in Alaska, but her voting record enabled Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and the Squad’s liberal agenda destroying Alaska’s future. Actions speak louder than words. Peltola’s failed record made Alaskans poorer and less safe, which is why we are confident Alaskans will flip the seat red again as it was under Don Young.” – NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen
