Sullivan, Peltola seek support from Alaska Native voters ahead of crucial Senate race

With just over a week until Alaska’s Nov. 3 Senate election, Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan and Democratic former Rep. Mary Peltola are both seeking support from Alaska Native voters at the Alaska Federation of Natives conference in Anchorage. The event comes after Sealaska Corp., a regional Native corporation in southeast Alaska, endorsed both candidates, saying it honors their contributions and the views of its shareholders. Peltola, Yup’ik, has support from the organization in past House races, though it did not endorse this year. The race is closely watched nationally, with Senate control at stake amid legal disputes involving ranked-choice ballot listings.
