AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoSenate Count: Mary Peltola leads Republican Dan Sullivan by 637 votes, with about a quarter of ballots still uncounted. If neither tops 50% in the first round, Alaska’s ranked-choice tally is scheduled for Nov. 18. Democrats have already secured control of the Senate, so Alaska’s result will shape the size of their majority, not who leads the chamber. Election Dispute: A federal judge dismissed the Justice Department’s bid to delay certification over the two Dan Sullivans on the ballot; the department has appealed, while its criminal inquiry continues. State Races: Democrat Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins leads the governor’s race, and early results suggest voters rejected repeal of Alaska’s ranked-choice system. Two Kenai judges also appear headed for defeat after the Judicial Council urged voters not to retain them. Fisheries: Alaska’s commercial fleet caught 99 million salmon this season, worth more than $648 million. The catch was nearly half last year’s, but higher prices lifted its value by 20%.
