Peltola Leads GOP Incumbent Sullivan in Alaska Senate Primary With a Third of Ballots Uncounted

With 66% of votes counted in Alaska's August 18 non-partisan Senate primary, Democrat Mary Peltola led Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan 46.8% to 44.4% — a 2.4-point gap with a third of ballots outstanding. Both advanced to November's ranked-choice general election. Peltola, the first Alaska Native in Congress, is challenging Sullivan's bid for a third term in a race with implications for Senate control.
