Mary Peltola: “I think that Alaskans have had it up to here with the lying and the dishonesty.”

Our fight is not against small and mid-size boats that keep communities like Kodiak strong. It’s against the out of state corporate greed that leads to wanton waste and damage to our sea floor.

I support oil and gas development. Alaska needs energy, and we have a wealth of resources that could be developed. However, the unintended consequences of this bill are too significant to allow it to pass.

We are flying blind without the surveys and the research that NOAA does.

We are being priced out of petroleum, and we’re being priced out of our lives in Alaska, because of the war in Iran.
