Alaska Congresswoman Mary Peltola has far outraised her Republican rivals. Nancy Dahlstrom got a boost from GOP leaders in the U.S. House.
Alaska Congresswoman Mary Peltola is far ahead of her Republican challengers in campaign fundraising. She raked in $1.7 million in the first three months of the year.
About 90 percent of that is from individuals. But, like most incumbents in Congress, she also received dozens of contributions from political action committees. Many of the committees are affiliated with unions and trade associations. PACs related to oil and coal companies also gave to Peltola, a Democrat who has acted to support domestic oil and gas development.
The Republican contenders raised just a fraction of Peltola’s haul during the first quarter of the year. Lt. Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom’s total came to $260,000. Nick Begich, relying almost exclusively on individual contributors, is only about $40,000 behind Dahlstrom, but Dahlstrom’s campaign finance report shows signs of continued fundraising might. Several political action committees linked to House Republican leaders gave to Dahlstrom.
Peltola is also benefiting from independent expenditures. A group called Center Forward Committee has bought ads worth $300,000 to support her. The organization promotes moderate candidates.
