Democrat Mary Peltola and Republican Senator Dan Sullivan are advancing to November's general election in Alaska's US Senate race, with both leading the state's non-partisan top-four primary after Tuesday's vote. Peltola held 46.8% and Sullivan 44.4% with two-thirds of ballots counted, securing two of four general-election slots. The final two spots remain undetermined.
The race carries added intrigue: state and federal prosecutors are investigating whether the candidacy of Dan J Sullivan, a retired schoolteacher sharing the senator's name, is part of a conspiracy to confuse voters. A grand jury issued subpoenas last week. Sullivan, 61, is seeking a third term, while Peltola, 52, lost her House seat in 2024 and is attempting a comeback.
Elsewhere, Byron Donalds won the Republican nomination for Florida governor and Angie Nixon took the Democratic Senate nomination. Harriet Hageman leads Wyoming's Republican Senate primary.
