U.S. Rep. Peltola’s office says it has gotten support from Alaska’s U.S. senators and governor, and many others have also reached out with sympathy and stories about Buzzy.
U.S. Rep. Mary Peltola is thankful for the overwhelming support and sympathy that she has received after the passing of her husband, Eugene Peltola Jr., said a statement from her congressional office.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the accident and has briefed Peltola and her staff on the process, according to McParland. “Alaska is a tight-knit state that relies on planes for basic travel, and so many Alaskans have felt the impact of an accident like this,” McParland said. “That doesn’t make it any less devastating, but it does mean we know how to support one another.”
