Times Reports Misconduct Claims Against Alaska Senate Nominee Peltola

The New York Times reported Sept. 23 that Mary Peltola, Alaska's Democratic Senate nominee, shoved a staffer, used slurs, and often yelled at aides. The account cites text messages and interviews with nine former employees. Peltola faces Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan on Nov. 3. Democrats need four seats for a majority and see Alaska as a priority.
