Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola’s husband, Eugene, was killed in a plane crash in Alaska Tuesday night, her office announced Wednesday.
A preliminary accident report from the Federal Aviation Agency said Eugene Peltola was the only person aboard the single-engine Piper PA-18, which went down near the remote village of St. Mary’s, roughly 500 miles west of Fairbanks.
The 50-year-old lawmaker, in Washington for the return of Congress from its August recess, planned to head home to the Last Frontier to be with her family.
