WASHINGTON/NEW YORK | October 15, 2026 — Alaska’s Senate contest is attracting attention as Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan faces Democratic challenger Mary Peltola. Reuters reported polling that put the candidates close, even though Donald Trump carried the state comfortably in 2024. High heating and transportation costs are especially consequential in Alaska’s remote communities.
