According to that reporting, Washington Democrats also boosted Republican Gerald Heikes, a perennial candidate, through a year-long effort to help Democrat Mary Peltola. The Times profiled Jim Lottsfeldt, an Alaska Democratic consultant who works on pro-Peltola super PACs and regularly met with Peltola’s campaign staff. The money trail runs straight to Washington.

In 2022 and 2024, Lottsfeldt’s Vote Alaska Before Party PAC boosted Heikes’ congressional campaigns with $𝟏.𝟕 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 $𝟒.𝟒𝟖 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐣𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐏𝐀𝐂. Heikes made this year’s general election ballot only after Democrat David Leslie, the fourth-place primary finisher, withdrew. Lottsfeldt denies involvement in the pro-Heikes push. But a super PAC called Alaska Values spent $1.7 million boosting spoiler candidates including Heikes, and filings list Lottsfeldt as a consultant who requested radio time in October. Recruiting spoilers is not clearly illegal in Alaska, and legal experts told reporters the reported facts may not amount to a crime. Peltola’s campaign and the DSCC deny recruiting candidates. But the filings are public, and Alaskans vote tomorrow. 𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐫𝐮𝐧 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭 𝐃𝐚𝐧 𝐒𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐧. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐭.
