RollCall has place Alaska Rep. Mary Peltola on its list of “most vulnerable incumbents.”
Peltola, running for her second term, made her debut on the list of the top 10 most-vulnerable incumbent House members “after the state’s complicated primary process ended up with only one GOP opponent compared with the two she faced in 2022,” the political news and analysis publication says.
Last week, Cook Political Report announced that Republican Nick Begich has pulled even with Peltola, with just six weeks until the election ends.
The situation for Peltola got worse after the Alaska Democratic Party failed to get another Democrat kicked off the November ballot. Eric Hafner is the Democrats’ worst nightmare this election, as they had planned on having Republicans “split the vote” on the ranked-choice voting method used in the Alaska general election. Instead, they have two Democrats.
Notably, Roll Call characterizes Alaska’s voting system as “complicated.”
“The bill is coming due for extreme Democrat Mary Peltola selling out Alaskans to Biden, Harris and the radical Left’s agenda. While Peltola votes for open borders, against military pay raises and against veterans’ benefits, Nick Begich will secure the border and support our troops,” said National Republican Congressional Committee spokesperson Ben Petersen.
