A potential Supreme Court decision to bar counting late-arriving mail ballots could disenfranchise rural and Alaska Native voters and upend Alaska’s tight Senate race between Mary Peltola and Dan Sullivan, threatening how elections are administered in a state where many ballots rely on mail and remote communities face delays.
Former Rep. Mary Peltola kicked off her Alaska Senate bid with a $1.5 million haul in the first 24 hours, fueled by small-dollar donors across Alaska (96% of gifts were $100 or less). Sullivan entered the race with roughly $4.8 million in cash on hand after a $1.2 million haul in Q3. The campaign also drew support from prominent Democrats who urged donations, and Peltola’s team said it recruited more than 500 volunteers on day one.
Former Rep. Mary Peltola announces a U.S. Senate run in Alaska to challenge two-term Republican Dan Sullivan. A former Alaska Native congresswoman with a centrist, Blue Dog background, Peltola is banked on her name recognition and bipartisan appeal after narrowly losing reelection in 2024, hoping to energize Democrats in a historically Republican-leaning state. Sullivan has Trump’s endorsement and solid fundraising, while Democrats have spent millions on ads to frame him, making the race an uphill fight in a state that Trump carried by double digits. Peltola stresses Alaska-first priorities and positions on gun rights and abortion rights, signaling a bid to win over harder-to-woo GOP voters in a bid to flip the seat.
Former Rep. Mary Peltola announced a bid for Alaska’s U.S. Senate seat, a major Democratic recruitment win that could reshape the 2026 map as she faces Sen.
