Peltola attendance record sparks scrutiny in Alaska Senate race

Democratic Senate hopeful Mary Peltola is drawing scrutiny for missing hundreds of votes across offices: 794 of 4,265 Alaska House votes (18.6%) during 1999–2009 and 22 of 60 Bethel City Council meetings (36.7%) (2011–2013), plus a 17.2% miss rate in Congress (235 of 1,370 roll-call votes) from 2022–2024. Her campaign attributes absences to maternity leave and fishing-season commitments, while critics argue the record raises questions about public-service dedication as she contends with Dan Sullivan in the Alaska race ahead of the general election.

At Indy’s Brickyard 400, roughly 70,000 fans filled a 400,000-seat venue, but the optics were poor as there were zero green-flag passes for the lead and movement only on restarts. The event amplified dissatisfaction with NASCAR’s current car/package and race length, with drivers and commentators criticizing the format.
