Democratic U.S. Rep. Mary Peltola is leading in first-choice votes in Alaska's U.S. House race, according to early returns.
Congresswoman Mary Peltola waves to passing motorists on election day, Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2022 in East Anchorage.
Republican former Gov. Sarah Palin led fellow Republican Nick Begich III in early vote counts. Palin was in second place with 28% of first-choice votes to Begich’s 24.8%. Libertarian Chris Bye trailed with 2% of first-choice votes and was expected to be the first candidate eliminated if the race comes down to a ranked choice tabulation.
After winning the August special election, Peltola got a significant boost in national attention and campaign contributions that translated to widespread name recognition. It also put a target on her back. Peltola went from having the least money of the three candidates to having a multi-million dollar lead over her opponents in fundraising.
