Democratic Senate nominee Mary Peltola’s campaign is defending her following a New York Times report detailing allegations from former staffers that she berated aides, used slurs, and shoved an employee.

Peltola’s campaign attributed some of the reported behavior to the grief she experienced after losing both her mother and husband in 2023 in a statement to Fox News.
