Alaska Senate Race Tightens | Anchorage News

About this episode

Alaska’s Senate race is heating up as Democrat Mary Peltola edges out incumbent Republican Dan Sullivan in a razor-thin primary, with over 115,000 ballots counted—Peltola at 47%, Sullivan at 44%. Though thousands remain uncounted, this ranked-choice vote determines the top four advancing to November’s general election. Peltola, the first Alaska Native in Congress, is challenging Sullivan’s record of corporate alignment and rising costs for everyday Alaskans, while rallying grassroots support amid confusing ballot confusion and outside spending. The outcome could reshape Senate control—and Alaska’s future.
