After advancing from Alaska’s primary, Sen. Dan Sullivan and Mary Peltola began campaigning for the general election, trading criticism as they compete in a Senate race that could affect control of the chamber.
Dan Sullivan and Mary Peltola emerged as the leading candidates in Alaska’s Senate race after Tuesday’s primary. The article reports that both campaigns turned quickly to the general election, with Sullivan questioning Peltola’s record and Peltola criticizing Sullivan’s support for President Trump’s tax and spending law. The race has drawn national attention because it could help determine control of the Senate.
Peltola said the Trump administration’s actions have created challenges for Alaska and argued that Sullivan’s vote for the law had not created opportunity for Alaskans. Sullivan highlighted his support for the military and expanded oil and gas development, and said his office was “getting big things done.” The article also describes a separate candidate, Daniel J. Sullivan Jr., whose ballot appearance prompted claims of intentional voter confusion that he denied.
