Sen. Dan Sullivan and Mary Peltola advanced to the Senate general election, setting up a race that the article says could affect control of the Senate. Sullivan criticized Peltola’s record and sought to link her to Democratic progressives; Peltola described her approach as centrist, criticized Sullivan’s support for President Donald Trump’s tax-and-spending bill, and said the Trump administration’s cuts to the federal workforce created challenges for Alaska.
A second Republican candidate named Dan J. Sullivan, a retired teacher, appeared on the ballot without party affiliation after a legal fight over his candidacy. In the House race, Rep. Nick Begich and independent Bill Hill advanced. Voters also approved a state ballot measure restoring limits on contributions to state and local campaigns.

23 OUTLETSMary Peltola and Sen. Dan Sullivan advanced from Alaska’s primary to the November Senate election. Center outlets generally present the general-election matchup descriptively, often noting the unusual second Dan Sullivan candidacy and criticism from both leading candidates. Right-leaning outlets foreground Sullivan and Republicans’ claim that the same-name candidate could confuse voters and draw support away from Sullivan; Fox News’s headline describes the story as far-left meddling.
