Lefty “Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is using her powerful fundraising muscle to back a moderate, pro-gun, drill-baby-drill Democrat.
“I’m reaching out to ask if you can split a $5 donation between Mary Peltola’s campaign for US Senate and our movement for progress?” the Democratic Socialist from Queens blasted out Tuesday in an email appeal.
“Mary is running on a platform of systemic change — she’ll fight in the Senate to lower grocery costs and build new housing Alaskans can afford.”
What the socialist rep didn’t mention to her progressive supporters is that Peltola lists her campaign priorities as “fish, family, freedom” and was the only Democrat to be endorsed by the National Rifle Association in 2024.
Peltola, 52, won Alaska’s lone House of Representatives seat in a special election in 2022, beating out former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, before losing her re-election bid to Republican Nick Begich in 2024.
While in office, she lobbied the Biden administration for Arctic drilling and boasted about getting ConocoPhillips’ controversial $8 billion Willow Project approved.
Peltola’s 2024 run was boosted by oil money — Chevron and ConocoPhillips Super PACs spent at least $310,000 on her campaign and television ads — even though AOC claimed in her donation link: “Alexandria and Mary take $0 from corporations, and each of their campaigns depend on all of you.”
Still, the endorsement from the “Bronx girl” is a break from the candidates Ocasio-Cortez has lent a fundraising hand to in the past — who have included fellow “Squad” members Jamaal Bowman, Ilhan Omar, and Attorney General Letitia James.
The move could signify a strategy indicative of a potential Senate run in 2028, political observers said.

What’s the catch ?
Something has to be fishy for AOC to back this Candidate.
What’s AOC’s cut of the money ? LOL
They’re politicians, and there’s money involved. You’d think Mary Peltola might be wary of money and support from the Green New Deal lady, and I’m pretty sure she’s also anti 2nd Amendment.
I do not for one microsecond believe that any Democrat is “pro-gun” except in the most politically convenient use of the term.
I’m not interested in seeing them voted into office to prove me wrong, either.
It’s a ruse.
They aren’t anti-gun, they just don’t want you to have guns.
Democrats probably have to be pro-gun and pro-oil in Alaska.
Collecting favors a la Vito Corleone for her 2028 presidential run.
“Some day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me.”
5 percent. She hasn’t reached Big Guy status yet.
pro-oil, pro-gun, to get elected in Alaska.
Then once elected, go full demoncrat.
Maybe not ‘full’, but every time it counts.
Demonic (er, democrat party-liner) hack under the running-for-office claims. Just another slave to the Muslim-Socialist Party.
Speaking of which, GA has a racist “retired general” running as a democrat on the “I’m black, I’m former military ticket.”
