Bycatch Dispute Pivots Alaska Senate Race as Salmon Runs Collapse

The tight 2026 Alaska Senate race between Dan Sullivan and Mary Peltola has centered on pollock trawler bycatch, which critics claim devastates local salmon runs. While industry supporters cite minimal waste rates, subsistence communities in the Yukon-Kuskokwim region report cultural collapse due to missing fish. Sullivan recently shifted his stance to support bycatch reduction bills, mirroring Peltola’s long-standing anti-trawl platform, making the issue a decisive factor in the election.

Seoul rejects Trump’s $54B Alaska LNG claim, citing unresolved commercial viability

South Korean officials formally disputed President Donald Trump’s announcement of a $54 billion investment in Alaska’s liquefied natural gas project, stating no commitment has been made. While Washington framed the deal as finalized to support Republican candidates, Seoul emphasized that the project remains subject to legal reviews and commercial viability assessments. Industry experts and critics argue the announcement was a political stunt ahead of midterms, noting that the project’s economics remain unproven and no Korean representatives attended the White House event.

Alaska's Senate race features two Dans on the ballot as ranked-choice voting looms

In Alaska's U.S. Senate primary, incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan advances to the general alongside Mary Peltola and Dan J. Sullivan Jr.—a logger who shares the incumbent’s name and captured 2.5% of the vote—with a fourth candidate yet to be named. The field will be decided under ranked-choice voting, a setup that could sow voter confusion due to the name overlap and the new voting system.

Alaska's Senate race gets a wildcard: the other Dan Sullivan enters November

In Alaska's high-stakes U.S. Senate race, retired teacher Dan J. Sullivan won a spot on November's ballot, potentially acting as a spoiler against incumbent Republican Dan Sullivan and Democrat Mary Peltola. Both Sullivans deny coordination, and analysts say ranked-choice voting could blunt the effect, but multiple candidates risk shaping the outcome. Outside groups spent heavily to back fringe candidates in the primary, and Peltola has recently shuffled her campaign leadership ahead of the general election.
