Mary Peltola: “When I ran for Congress, my platform was being pro fish, pro…”

“I was elected to fill out the remainder of Congressman Young's term, the end of 2022, and then I was shortly thereafter elected to a two year term of my own, representing Alaska in 2023 and 2024. So I'm very happy to be here. When I ran for Congress, my platform was being pro fish, pro family, and pro freedom. and it's not. There's a reason they are in that priority, because for me, fish is everything I'm made of. Fish. The people that I come from are heavily, heavily dependent on fish, and in particular, salmon.” (04:02–04:12)
