Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola finished first in Alaska’s nonpartisan congressional primary on Tuesday with a wide lead over her Republican challengers, setting the stage for a contentious general election matchup that could determine the balance of power in the U.S. House next year.
Under Alaska’s primary system, all candidates appear on the same ballot regardless of their party affiliation and the four candidates with the most votes advance to the general election
Peltola garnered just over 50% of the vote, in preliminary results released early Wednesday morning. Republican candidates Nick Begich and Alaska Lt. Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom also advanced in the state’s ranked-choice primary, both receiving more than 20% support. Nine other candidates received less than 1% support and are vying for the fourth spot.
