Alex Ortiz spent a decade working for Young in roles ranging from scheduler to chief of staff
. She faces another election in November. She is running against former Gov. Sarah Palin and businessman Nick Begich III, both Republicans, and Libertarian fishing guide Chris Bye.Ortiz said his experience working in Alaska’s at-large seat in Congress and his connection to Young positions him to help Peltola’s team get office operations off the ground.
Asked about his decision to work for a Democrat, Ortiz responded, “Most importantly, I’m working for Rep. Peltola.”Peltola has said her family was close with Young’s — her mother campaigned for Young before he was elected in 1973 and her father taught alongside Young when they first moved to Alaska from the Lower 48. Peltola has spent Thanksgiving with Young’s family and testified before him in a congressional hearing on fishery issues.
Hector Jimenez, Peltola’s deputy campaign manager, will work as scheduler, setting the congresswoman’s daily agenda. Josh Wilson, also from the campaign, will serve as communications director. Larry Persily, who worked in the Washington office for the State of Alaska, was a deputy revenue commissioner for the state and was federal coordinator for Alaska natural gas projects, will be senior policy adviser.
