AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoCongressional Shift: Democrats have taken control of both chambers of Congress, while Alaska’s close U.S. Senate race could shape the size of their majority. Alaska Senate: Republican Dan Sullivan led Mary Peltola by 2,470 votes in preliminary results, with 280 of 403 precincts reporting. Neither candidate has won; ranked-choice tabulation is scheduled for Nov. 18. The race remains under a federal criminal investigation tied to allegations involving a second candidate named Dan Sullivan, after a judge dismissed the DOJ’s bid to delay certification. State Races: Democrat Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins led the governor’s race in early returns, while Republican Rep. Nick Begich held a lead over independent Bill Hill for Alaska’s U.S. House seat. Both contests remain subject to more ballot counting and ranked-choice tabulation if no candidate clears 50%. Voting Rules: Ballot Measure 2, which would repeal open primaries and ranked-choice voting, was trailing in early returns, suggesting Alaska will keep its current election system.
