But how does Alaska's commercial fishing industry feel about her?
To find out, Deckboss followed the money — that is, the campaign contributions to Peltola and her main challenger, Republican Nick Begich.
We searched recent filings with the Federal Election Commission, specifically the July 15 quarterly reports for each candidate.
We're sure we didn't catch everything, but we found several significant fisheries contributions from processors, fishermen and others in the Mary Peltola for Alaska committee report. We compiled this list of Peltola contributions.
The Alaskans for Nick Begich committee, by contrast, showed only a handful of minor contributions from fishermen.
I am sure the vendors in Bristol Bay were comforted knowing their invoices were slow paid but Hanrahan and O'Leary had no problem sending money to the congresswoman.
