Alaska Senate Poll: Democrat Mary Peltola Leads Incumbent Republican

A recent poll indicates that Democratic former Representative Mary Peltola holds a narrow lead over Republican Senator Dan Sullivan in Alaska’s 2026 U.S. Senate race, potentially altering the political landscape in this typically Republican state. The Alaska Survey Research poll, conducted before Peltola’s official announcement, showed her leading Sullivan by over 1.5 percentage points. This has the potential to make the race against Sullivan competitive. With the Democrats facing a difficult Senate map in the upcoming midterms, Alaska could become a crucial state in determining control of the Senate.

Alaska Senator Threatens Cruise Ship Blockade, Risking State’s Tourism

Alaska Senator Dan Sullivan threatens legal action to block cruise ships from British Columbia ports in retaliation for new fees imposed on trucks traveling from Washington to Alaska. Sullivan, citing the Passenger Vessel Services Act, aims to leverage the significant economic impact of cruise tourism to pressure Canada to back down. He asserts that this action would severely damage the Canadian economy, while benefiting Alaska’s tourism industry. However, B.C.’s Ministry of Transportation maintains that the new fees are a necessary tool in response to ongoing trade disputes and hopes a resolution can be reached without resorting to such measures.
