Mary Peltola
Role at the time: Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate, Alaska
Mixed or conditional
Statement summary
Launching her affordability campaign, Mary Peltola drew a direct line between the Iran war and high fuel prices in Alaska, said Congress needs to intervene under the War Powers Act, and said she would support a war powers resolution, while stopping short of outright opposing the war.
“There is a need for the War Powers Act. I do not believe that any President should be making these kinds of substantive decisions unilaterally.”
