Peltola and Sullivan top Alaska primary for November Senate showdown

In Alaska’s nonpartisan primary, incumbent Republican Dan Sullivan and former Democratic congresswoman Mary Peltola advanced to the November general election, with Peltola leading early (about 48% to 42.8%) as the race becomes a marquee contest tied to control of the U.S. Senate; the field also features a rival Dan Sullivan candidate and ongoing debates over oil, gas, and fisheries policy, while fundraising and broader electoral dynamics shape the wider midterm landscape.
