Alaska’s primary advanced Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan and Democrat Mary Peltola to the November Senate race, while Republican Rep. Nick Begich and independent Bill Hill advanced in the House race. The Senate contest could affect control of the chamber.
Sen. Dan Sullivan and former congresswoman Mary Peltola advanced to the November general election. Sullivan criticized Peltola’s record and campaigned on military support, expanded oil and gas extraction, and his vote for President Donald Trump’s tax and spending law. Peltola criticized the political system and Sullivan’s support for the law, and her campaign changed managers shortly before the primary. The race drew attention from outside groups and could help determine control of the Senate.
In Alaska’s House race, Rep. Nick Begich and independent Bill Hill advanced. Hill emphasized affordability and criticized Begich, who said the primary results showed voters were ready to return him to Congress. The article also reports that voters approved a measure reinstating contribution limits in state and local elections.
