Congratulations Mary Peltola, may this be the beginning of a long and rewarding career representing the good folks of Alaska.

What a great way to finish off a great month of August for the Democratic party. And the future can be just as bright as we want to make it, we’ve just got to vote and help others to vote as well. The bad guys are on the ropes and ripe for a knockout.

For years Don Young made it clear he only represented those who voted for him, and not all Alaskans.

Now I, and the rest of Alaskans, have a representative, too. Here’s hoping Mary will be a rep for ALL Alaska.

I’m becoming a big, big, BIG fan of ranked choice voting. Which probably means I’ll not see it where I live until my deathbed, if ever. Awesome news!

Ranked choice voting FOR THE WIN!

We have it here in Maine and it is what allowed Jared Golden (conserva-dem he may be) to oust the smarmy Bruce Polliquin back in 2018. Polliquin was leading going into the second round, but fell short when second choice votes moved to Golden from some of the other Dems in the race.

I hear she’s looking to hang out with someone who is a celebrity simply for being a celebrity - just to get back in the news.

They don’t like her either.

Guess she’ll have to get into another beer keggar brawl.

Wow! What an awesome (and devastating) response by Stacey Abrams. I love it! I would love to have her as my governor.

Lovely news to receive days before election season unofficially begins!

My prediction: Dems increase their senate lead by 3-4 seats and keep the house by half a dozen or so seats.
