Fact Check: Did Mary Peltola consistently vote against securing the border?

Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) publishes daily vetted fact checks from verified IFCN-approved sources. Each claim is independently reviewed for accuracy and context.

Claimant: Dan Sullivan campaign

Claim: Mary Peltola “voted with” liberals “against securing our border.”

Rating: BLATANT LIE

Explanation: Peltola did vote against the Republican Secure the Border Act in 2023, but she later supported a nearly identical border-security measure and repeatedly broke with Democrats on immigration enforcement votes. FactCheck.org found that her broader record does not support portraying her as consistently opposed to border security.
