Sept. 28, 2026 – A new ad attacking Sen. Dan Sullivan introduces Indianna Turkisher as an everyday line cook and bartender.
And yet, her public posts show another part of her activity that the ad does not mention: recruiting people for political organizing in Alaska.
In one Facebook post, Turkisher says she is hiring in Kenai, Soldotna, Seward, Homer and Kodiak, offering $23 an hour for phone work and $28 an hour for door knocking and events.
The post links to a “Kenai Organizer” position with The Mobilization Center. In another, she asks who wants to be paid $28 an hour to knock on doors, adding, “These elections mean a lot.” A more recent post again seeks door knockers for a job ending in mid-November.
The posts reveal the lie of the characterization of Turkisher as an ordinary worker speaking spontaneously about Sullivan. She may well be a line cook and bartender at night, but she is also actively recruiting campaign workers during an election season.This is a job for her.
Turkisher has expressed political views on Facebook. In a 2021 post about a man mistakenly institutionalized in Hawaii, she wrote, “When people say defund the police…this is why. After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, she posted an angry response to the ruling, dropping the F bomb:
Peltola promises tax cuts now, but pushed Alaska income taxes twice
First AOC, then Kamala, now Donna Brazile backs Peltola
New Alaska Senate poll puts Sullivan narrowly ahead, but cannot measure full impact of Peltola revelations

A tactic taken right out of dirtbag Scott Kendall’s playbook. Democrats are really desperate now.
I expect that if you look into the identities of the “republicans” claiming they are voting for Peltola, you will find they are likewise astroturfers. Nothing produced by her campaign is remotely honest or true. All of her money comes from out of state. Same with the No on 2 ads. All of it claims repealing RCV will allow dark money into Alaska, and all of their ads are paid for by… dark money.
Another dishonest add supporting lying Mary. The Alaskan hating Chuck Schumer needs Mary’s reliable leftist vote. He and the other communist scum Demoncats have big plans if they can win – load the Supreme Court, reopen the border to dilute legitimate US citizen votes, raise taxes etc. etc. Anyone with any brains can see through this charade. But they know there are a lot of moronic voters out there that will be hoodwinked by their BS and vote for Mary. Hopeful there are still enough sensible Alaskans out there that will go vote and prevent this happening.
