Three Alaska Native candidates running in the special primary election for Alaska’s U.S. House seat went to Bethel for a candidate forum on May 6. Sarah Palin was also slated to attend but dropped out after flight delays.
“I wanted to ask what they will do about this Roe v. Wade because it’s really scary. It’s really alarming. And it definitely puts the safety of Indigenous women in the ring,” Bethel resident Victoria Sosa said.
Jayvin Williams was helping out at the event. His job was to pick up candidates from the airport and play a traditional drum during the forum when the candidates’ time to answer the questions was over. Williams said that there was one issue that was most important to him.Only one candidate, Peltola, offered solutions for local public safety during the forum. She responded to a question from Hoffman about how candidates would propose improving access to health care, public safety and education.
Later, in a response to a question about rural Alaska’s role in national security, Peltola said that she supports an increased military personnel presence in rural Alaska. She said that could also aid in local public safety with military officers acting as first responders in emergencies like floods or fires.“It’s about securing our borders, and ensuring that we continue to provide the necessary services to the rest of the country through our natural resource development.
“I knew her [Peltola] personally. And I know her goals as a candidate. And I’m just excited to see where she takes it. I know a little bit about her and know what she wants. She is also Alaska Native, so that’s pretty exciting to see one up there,” Glore said.
