Soros-backed Dark Money Group Supports Alaska’s Mary Peltola with Significant Ad Spending

We’re still months away from the election, and already dark money groups from outside are trying to stick their finger in Alaska’s elections. Keeping Mary Peltola (D-AK) in place is seen as essential in the Democrats’ efforts to retake the House of Representatives, and Mrs. Peltola doesn’t have Lisa Murkowski to hitch her campaign sled to this year, so that’s going to complicate things.

Enter the Democrats’ House Majority PAC, which is heavily funded by (among others) George Soros and Nancy Pelosi and their sponsorship of a shady group called “Vote Alaska Before Party.” That’s rich: a bunch of people from outside Alaska telling Alaskans how to “Vote Alaska.” Must Read Alaska’s Suzanne Downing has the details:

The Vote Alaska Before Party group is really a subset of the congressional Democrats through their House Majority PAC, which was far-and-away the largest donor to Vote Alaska Before Party in 2022.

When the House Majority PAC announced its $186 million in ad buys last week to major media, it proudly mentioned major cities like Phoenix and Portland. 

The ads haven’t started flowing yet, but they will.

CNN continued: “Nothing has been reserved in Alaska to help Mary Peltola, but Smith said each media market has a different set of circumstances dictating when to place an ad buy, suggesting that Alaska would be on the group’s list for later in the cycle.”

The PAC left out Alaska because Alaskans famously don’t like Outside money — especially from the likes of George Soros and Nancy Pelosi — to muck around in Alaska races. House Majority PAC was trying to fly under the radar; the Vote Alaska Before Party group reserved the media buy, and while the cash transfer is not yet showing on federal reports, that kind of big money comes from one place — the House Majority PAC.

Again, Soros’ fingerprints are on yet another leftist organization trying to twaddle in a campaign.
