GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan and Democrat Mary Peltola advance to battleground Senate election in Alaska
Peltola led the primary and Sullivan faces a competitive race that could help decide Senate control, with ranked-choice voting on the Nov. 3 ballot.
- U.S. Representative Mary Peltola and Senator Dan Sullivan advanced from Alaska's open primary, securing spots in the November general election for a race considered a toss-up nationwide.
- Republicans currently hold a three-seat Senate majority, making this Alaska contest critical for control of the chamber. The general election will use ranked-choice voting to determine the winner.
- As of July 29, Peltola raised about $19 million and spent nearly $14 million, while Sullivan raised $12 million and spent $5 million. Political action committees spent about $1.3 million on advertising.
- Protecting Alaska's fishing industry emerged as a central campaign issue, with both candidates opposing bottom trawling practices. Sullivan introduced legislation to limit bycatch, while Peltola called for a ban on factory trawling.
- Earlier in the cycle, Lieutenant Governor Carol Beecher disqualified a candidate named Dan J. Sullivan on June 11 due to ballot confusion. The state Supreme Court later upheld the decision to keep incumbent Dan Sullivan on the ballot.
