Democrat Mary Peltola Takes Lead in Alaska Senate Race

A recent poll shows Democrat Mary Peltola now ahead of incumbent Republican Senator Dan Sullivan in Alaska by about five points, marking a significant swing in the race.

Peltola's campaign, 100 days from the November election, says it has built momentum with over 10,000 volunteers across more than 160 communities, door‑to‑door outreach to roughly 25,000 homes, and endorsement from the Alaska AFL‑CIO. The race, newly classified as a toss‑up by the Cook Political Report and Sabato’s Crystal Ball, is viewed as one of the most closely watched contests, with potential implications for control of the U.S. Senate.
