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.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we exist to illuminate tribal government for everyone who cares about transparency in Native issues. Our work bridges the gap left by tribal-controlled media and non-Native, extractive journalism, providing the insights necessary for truly informed decision-making and a better quality of life. Because the consequences of restricted press freedom affect our communities every day, our trauma-informed reporting is rooted in a deep, firsthand expertise.
