Plane Accident in Alaska Kills Congresswoman’s Husband

"Representative Mary Peltola of Alaska has shared the grievous news of her husband’s death following a recent plane crash in the state. The announcement was conveyed to the public through a statement on Peltola’s X account on September 13.

Last year, Mary Peltola achieved a historic victory by clinching a special election for the congressional seat of Alaska. Her win marked her as the first indigenous Alaskan in Congress and the first member of the Democratic Party to obtain the seat in nearly 50 years, earning her substantial respect in Alaska."
