Alaska voters will narrow down a long list of contenders on Tuesday for a competitive U.S. Senate seat. Senator Dan S. Sullivan and former Representative Mary Peltola are both widely expected to advance in Alaska’s Senate primary. Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) is facing a challenge from former Rep. Mary Peltola (D-Alaska). Observers call Peltola, who won the red state’s House seat twice, ‘a unicorn’. Voters head to the polls on Tuesday for Alaska’s primary elections.
