| Team – Here's my plan for how we win this election:
This is a ground game. This is person-to-person, human-to-human, mukluk telegraph.
For those in the Lower 48, mukluk telegraph is a saying we have in the Bush that basically amounts to gossip.
It's passing along a message through our conversations with one another, which is the only way information can really spread in some parts of the Last Frontier!
In a state as vast and rural as ours, there really is no other way to reach every Alaskan. That's why it's so important for us to travel to their communities and have those person-to-person conversations.
There are 585,000 square miles in this state — bigger than Texas, California, and Montana combined. And we're going to criss-cross it in its entirety.
But to be honest with you, reaching every community will be expensive.
More than 80% of our communities can only be reached by plane, boat or snow machine. And when we are able to drive, gas up here costs much more than it does in most of the Lower 48!
But we don't have another option. I'm running for U.S. Senate to fight for all Alaskans, and I'm committed to bringing every borough into this fight with me.
That's why I'm asking for your support today. We need to take our message across Alaska, and we can't do it without your help.
So if you're with me, please split a donation today between Kirsten Gillibrand and my campaign for U.S. Senate in Alaska. No matter how much you're able to contribute, every donation counts because it all adds up when we chip in together. If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will be split between Mary Peltola and Kirsten Gillibrand immediately: I'm so grateful for your support. Together, we're going to win this!
Thanks so much,
Mary |
