Alaska Senate candidate Mary Peltola rejected a fundraising appeal sent by Kamala Harris on her behalf, saying her campaign is not seeking endorsements from outside Alaska. Dan Sullivan’s campaign used the email to link Peltola to Harris.
Harris’s political organization emailed Peltola supporters asking them to donate to a political action committee, with donations split between Harris’s organization and Peltola. Peltola’s spokesperson said the campaign was not seeking endorsements from the Lower 48 and emphasized its Alaska-based support and volunteers.
A spokesperson for Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan said the email showed Peltola and Harris were on the same team and criticized the Biden administration’s Alaska policies. The article also notes that Harris has left open the possibility of another presidential run.
