Mary Peltola skips vote on supporting police for Biden photo op

Vulnerable Democrat Mary Peltola skipped a critical vote today on a resolution expressing support for local law enforcement and condemning efforts to defund the police.

Earlier this year, Peltola voted for lower penalties for violent crime, a position too extreme for even Chuck Schumer. Last month, Peltola again voted against police officers and for emboldening criminals.

Peltola skipped the vote so she could attend a photo op with Jill Biden.

“Mary Peltola got so star-struck by national Democrat celebrities that she neglected to represent Alaskans in Washington on this critical issue. Alaskans deserve a representative who will stand against defunding the police and lower penalties for violent criminals.” – NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen
