Mary Peltola of Alaska, who is a former representative and current Democrat U.S. Senate nominee, has claimed to work hard for her community, but her voting record reportedly showed otherwise.
Peltola finished ahead of Trump-backed Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK) on Tuesday during the primary as both moved toward the general election, Fox News reported Saturday.
Peltola “missed nearly one in five votes in the Alaska House of Representatives and more than a third of Bethel City Council meetings during her time in office, records show,” the outlet said.
She reportedly missed 794 of over 4,000 House votes during her five terms and 22 city council meetings.
“Her attendance record is now raising questions about her commitment to public service as she advances to Alaska’s four-candidate general election, a closely watched race that could affect control of the U.S. Senate,” the article continued.
When announcing her decision to run for the U.S. Senate, Peltola said she was going to “fight for fish, family, and freedom.”
