Former Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola launches Alaska Senate run

Former Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola has launched her campaign for the U.S. Senate in Alaska, challenging two-term GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan. Peltola, who previously served as Alaska's lone House member, is seen as a key Democratic recruit in a state that President Trump won by 13 points in 2020. The race is expected to be competitive, with Democrats aiming to flip at least four Republican-held seats to gain the Senate majority.
