Republican challenger Nick Begich defeated incumbent Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola to win Alaska's only House seat.
On Wednesday, Republican challenger Nick Begich defeated incumbent Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola to win Alaska's only U.S. House seat.
The election is one of the last House races called in the 2024 election cycle, with Republicans flipping the Senate and the White House. They have also maintained control of the House of Commons.
Peltola, who won the seat in 2022 following the death of the late U.S. Rep. Don Young, conceded the race to Begich in a statement to The Associated Press. Begich was endorsed by President-elect Donald Trump.
Begich was a supporter of President-elect Donald Trump.
The Associated Press reported:
Mr. Begich, the founder of a software development company, was a vocal supporter of Mr. Trump and slammed Mr. Peltola for refusing to endorse the candidate in the presidential race.
“Some candidates in this race don't want to tell Alaskans who they support for president, but Alaskans have a right to transparency from their representatives in Congress. “We deserve to know whether we're going to work with people who have a pro-Alaska agenda or whether we're going to work with people who want to shut down the state,” he said in September.
