Mary Peltola’s campaign has faced a critical blow after she lost her influential campaign manager, Anton McParland, just days before the primary election.
The race to win one of two U.S. Senate seats from Alaska is becoming significantly tougher for Democrats following this staff upheaval.
Sunday’s reports confirmed that McParland is no longer part of Peltola’s team, with multiple staffers also leaving. The campaign has not specified whether McParland resigned or was terminated, but the loss of such a key figure so close to the primary election is deeply concerning.
Peltola has long been rumored to be belligerent and abusive toward her staff, though it remains unclear if those allegations contributed to the recent departures. Additionally, Peltola’s campaign recently faced backlash after it appeared to reject an endorsement from former Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
Her campaign is already imploding as Alaskans are reminded of her out-of-touch liberal agenda.
