Mary Peltola Leads Alaska Senate Race Amid Investigation into Second Dan Sullivan Candidacy
In Alaska's closely contested Senate race, Democrat Mary Peltola leads incumbent Republican Dan Sullivan by 2,517 votes, with neither candidate surpassing the 50% threshold needed for an outright win under the state's ranked-choice voting system. A third candidate, Daniel J. Sullivan Jr., has drawn attention for receiving 3,651 votes, exceeding the margin between the frontrunners. Alaska authorities, including the governor, are investigating potential misconduct related to the second Sullivan's candidacy, amid allegations of coordination with Peltola's campaign, which both parties deny. Federal inquiries are also underway.
