The committee’s jurisdiction also includes fisheries, a key policy interest of Peltola’s. Peltola is awaiting her subcommittee assignments.

Peltola requested a seat on the Natural Resources Committee and said in a statement that the committee “is where much of the legislation that is most important to Alaskans is advanced.”

A Democrat, Peltola became the first Alaska Native member of Congress after she was sworn in Tuesday. To reach the House, she defeated former Gov. Sarah Palin and businessman Nick Begich III in an August special election to replace Young. She faces a rematch in November against Palin and Begich in her bid to hold on to Alaska’s lone seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Before representing Alaska in the U.S. House, Peltola spent a decade serving in the state House representing the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta until 2009. Peltola then worked as director of the Kuskokwim River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission.

Peltola is scheduled to spend nine more days in Congress while the House is in session before the November general election. A Natural Resources Committee meeting is scheduled for Thursday.

Rep. Mary Peltola to serve on House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee

WASHINGTON, D.C. (KTUU) - Alaska’s lone member of the U.S. House of Representatives Mary Peltola has secured a seat on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.

A press release announcing Peltola’s committee assignment called it “a major win for Alaskans.”

Peltola succeeded the late Rep. Don Young, who died in March of 2022. Young chaired the committee from 2001-2007.

“I’m thrilled to receive the appointment to the Transportation & Infrastructure Committee,” Peltola said in the release.

The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee oversees the Federal Aviation Administration, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the U.S. Coast Guard and the Department of Transportation.

Peltola became the first Alaska Native to represent Alaska in Congress when she won a special election to serve the remainder of Young’s term in August. She was sworn into Congress in September.

Peltola then defeated former Gov. Sarah Palin and Nick Begich III in the November general election to secure her first full term in Congress.

“This Committee’s work is critical to our state’s economic development,” Peltola said in the release. “As Alaska depends on federal infrastructure dollars to support projects statewide, this position will enable my office to exercise more influence over funding that is crucial to growth in Alaska. I ran for Congress promising to build on Representative Don Young’s legacy. Don chaired both the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the Natural Resources Committee, so this feels like a fitting first step. I look forward to bringing home real results, just like Don did.”

Peltola also serves on the House Natural Resources Committee and the Committee on Education and Labor.

Rep. Mary Peltola, 1st Alaska Native in Congress, wins Alaska’s at-large congressional district

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — U.S. Rep. Mary Peltola has been elected to a full term in the House, months after the Alaska Democrat won a special election to the seat following the death earlier this year of longtime Republican Rep. Don Young.

Peltola defeated Republicans Sarah Palin and Nick Begich and Libertarian Chris Bye in the Nov. 8 election. Results of the ranked choice election were announced Wednesday. Palin and Begich also were candidates in the special election.

Peltola, who is Yup’ik, with her win in August became the first Alaska Native to serve in Congress and the first woman to hold Alaska’s House seat. The win also buoyed her fundraising, outpacing those of her rivals in the lead-up to this month’s election.

Peltola embraced Young’s legacy as she sought the two-year term and was endorsed by his daughters, one of whom presented her with a bolo tie of Young’s at an Alaska Federation of Natives conference where Peltola was treated like a rock star. Young held the seat for 49 years.

“Now, I’m a real congressman for all Alaska,” she said. Young often referred to himself that way. Peltola has described his legacy as one of bipartisanship and building support for Alaska interests in Congress.

Peltola, a state lawmaker from the small rural hub community of Bethel for 10 years, ending in 2009, surprised many with her fourth place finish in the June special primary, in which she emerged from a field of 48 candidates that included current state and local officeholders. That finish was enough to send her to the special election.

During the campaign, she cast herself as a coalition builder, emphasized a desire for more civility in politics and sought to stay out of the sniping between Palin and Begich. Peltola, who most recently worked for a commission whose goal is to rebuild salmon in Alaska’s Kuskokwim River, raised concerns with ocean productivity and cited a need to preserve struggling fisheries.

She also stressed her support of abortion rights.

During a speech in October, she talked about the need for unity and lamented what she said have become pervasive messages in politics “about hate and fear and self-pity. And yes, those resonate, those are compelling motivators. But they’re destructive, they’re acidic, they tear us down.”

She said her priorities for the new term included committee assignments and “working very hard on getting our inflation rates down, our shipping costs down, getting costs down for working families and all Alaskan households.”

Peltola, following in Don Young’s footsteps, wins seat on House transportation committee

January 26, 2023 by Liz Ruskin, Alaska Public Media

Alaska Congresswoman Mary Peltola announced Wednesday that she’s won a seat on the U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.

The committee has more than 60 members and a huge area of jurisdiction. It oversees the nation’s highways, aviation system, shipping, mass transit and railroads. It also sets policy on pipelines, wastewater systems, emergency response, public buildings and the U.S. Coast Guard.

Among the Alaska issues that come up in that committee are a passenger air subsidy called Essential Air Service, icebreaker acquisition and matters related to the Army Corps of Engineers.

On Tuesday, Peltola said she wasn’t sure her request for a seat on the T&I panel would be granted.

“That’s a very coveted committee, and I think it’ll be a lot more challenging to get on that committee. I’m keeping my expectations realistic,” she said.

Peltola’s predecessor, Don Young, was a member of the committee and served as its chairman from 2001 to 2007. It allowed him to shape the five-year, $284 billion surface transportation bill in 2005.

House committee assignments are still being made. Peltola is also likely to get seated on the House Natural Resources Committee.

Following a week of high-profile Alaska news, Representative Peltola welcomed Alaska journalists to her office and over the Internet to an informal press gaggle. The Representative discussed a range of topics that included the Willow Project, the EPA’s Final Determination for Bristol Bay, and resolutions on the floor of the House this week.

“There is so much policy being made right now that affects Alaska, but at the same time, there’s a lot of time being wasted in DC. I don’t think Alaska voters sent me here to do political stunts like vote on nonbinding resolutions condemning the horrors of socialism. That was designed to be political theater at a time when we should be working to prevent the debt ceiling from crushing our economy. I want to get the word out about the important topics that are affecting our state, like fighting the rising cost of living and protecting our fisheries. I hope that these press gaggles can help me cut through the noise and really talk shop with Alaskans.”

The gaggle was attended by reporters from a variety of statewide, Southcentral, and Southeast outlets. The Representative also took time to share her full committee and subcommittee assignments:

The Representative discussed her plans for these committees and how the assignments will help her focus on crucial issues such as bringing Internet access to rural Alaska and spurring statewide economic growth.

“DC can be a frustrating place, especially when there are so many partisan media narratives obscuring or preventing the actual work. We’d like to pull back that partisan veil and let Alaskans hear what’s going on directly from the Representative. Plus, who doesn’t like the word ‘gaggle’? We also want to make sure reporters from smaller outlets back home have access to the office. To all of you, please contact us for an invitation!”

The next Alaska House press gaggle date will be announced shortly and will be open to in-person and virtual participants. Alaska journalists interested in attending should contact Sam Erickson (info above) to be added to the office press list.

Peterhof (Petrodvorets)

Grand Palace

The Grand Palace at Peterhof was designed to be the centerpiece of Peter the Great's "Russian Versaille". Around 1720, the Tsar gave up on attempts to establish his court at Strelna, mainly because the boggy ground proved entirely unsuitable for the canals and fountains that he envisioned. Moving his attentions further west to Peterhof, the Tsar began to draw up his own plans for the grounds and palace. Work had already begun on a modest palace, designed by Jean-Baptiste Le Blond, in 1714, and that building was completed in 1721.

Meanwhile, fired by Peter's untiring enthusiasm, a massive amount of work had been completed around the palace, including the landscaping of the Lower Park, the digging of the Sea Canal, and the building of Monplaisir, Marly Palace, and most of the Hermitage. The original Higher Palace was somewhat inadequate for its surrounding splendours, and Peter instructed Le Blond and his pupil, Johann Braunstein, to expand the building.

Work was halted after Peter's death in 1725, and Petrhof was almost abandoned until Peter's daughter Elizabeth came to the throne in 1740. Elizabeth commissioned Bartolomeo Rastrelli, who had already completed the Summer Palace in St. Petersburg, to build a genuinely regal palace. Rastrelli chose to retain the original building within his design, and the result is supremely elegant and surprisingly restrained. The long, narrow palace, which was built in the last decade before baroque made way for neoclassicism, has minimal decoration, and Rastrelli's chief stylistic flourishes are the two white pavilions with gilded cupolas at the end of the wings. Beige and white, the palace is majestic without being overwhelming, and provides a perfect backdrop both to the elegantly formal Upper Garden, and to the spectacular Grand Cascade.

Inside, the Grand Palace is considerably more lavish, and the fact that the interiors had to be almost entirely reconstructed after World War Two does nothing to detract from their grandeur. The interiors are in fact a combination of original designs by Rastrelli and renovations by Yurii Felten and Vallin de la Mothe during the reign of Catherine the Great. Further changes were made in the mid-19 th century, but nonetheless the palace's sumptuous interiors have retained a remarkable homogeneity of style.

Visitors entering the palace are confronted by Rastrelli's incredibly ornate Ceremonial Staircase, which sets the tone for what is to come with a magnificent fresco of Aurora and Genius and multitude of gilded statues. Highlights include the richly gilded Ballroom and Felten's splendid white-and-turquoise Throne Room, which has a particularly fine parquet floor. The Western Chinese Study is heavily Oriental, with jewel red and green walls and a beautiful Chinese tea-set. The Drawing Room of the Imperial Suite is equally influenced by chinoiserie, with particularly fine silk wall hangings. The rest of the Imperial Suite, the royal family's private quarters, is furnished in grand 19 th century style. Also of interest is Peter the Great's charmingly simple Oak Study, and the adjacent Crown Room, which was in fact the Imperial bedchamber.
