It looks like someone has registered a brand new Bluesky account (notice the sunrise emoji) that is linked to Mary Peltola’s official website.

Democrat: Renee Hardman
Election Date: 🗓️THIS TUESDAY, DECEMBER 30TH🗓️

This is a Harris +17/ Biden +19 district, so we should be good here. Curious what the numbers look like but being a holiday week, I won't be reading too much into this one.
Obviously the last special of 2025
