Former U.S. Rep. Mary Peltola joins Holland & Hart in Alaska affairs role

Former U.S. Rep. Mary Peltola, a Democrat and member of the Yup’ik people, has joined Holland & Hart LLP as senior director of Alaska affairs, the firm announced. Peltola, who represented Alaska’s at-large congressional district from 2022 to early 2024, will work alongside her former chief of staff, Anton McParland, now senior director of federal affairs. The bipartisan firm says Peltola’s expertise in federal, state, and tribal relations will benefit Alaska-focused clients.
