Federal
Mary Peltola made history in 2022 as the first Alaska Native elected to Congress, and she spent her time in the U.S. House putting fish, family, and freedom ahead of party politics. Now she is challenging Dan Sullivan in a race that could decide control of the U.S. Senate. Peltola has outraised Sullivan, holds endorsements from the Alaska AFL-CIO, the National Education Association, and SEIU 775, and leads Sullivan in almost all polls.
Peltola is focused on the issues Alaskans actually face: lowering grocery and energy costs, housing, and standing up to the industrial trawlers that are destroying Alaska's fisheries. We recommend ranking Mary Peltola first for U.S. Senate.

Other Candidates
Sen. Dan Sullivan has spent twelve years in Washington voting with party leaders instead of standing up for Alaskans. He voted for the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill, jeopardizing health coverage for roughly 14,000 Alaskans their health coverage, and raising premiums for everyone. Sullivan repeatedly voted for tariffs that increase our costs on everything from groceries to building materials. He voted for the war in Iran 13 times, raising Alaskans' gas prices. We do not recommend voting for Dan Sullivan.
Dan J.Sullivan is a Republican retired Forest Service employee from Petersburg who is running to draw attention to the inadequacies of incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan. Dan J. Sullivan appears to align with our values. We recommend ranking him second after Mary Peltola in this race.
Gerald Heikes is a perennial candidate who has not mounted a campaign. We do not support his candidacy.

Other Candidates
Nick Begich has spent his first term voting the national Republican line rather than fighting for Alaska. He voted for the One Big Beautiful Bill, tariffs, and the war in Iran, all of which are raising our costs. Rather than focus on Alaska issues, Nick Begich is focusing on things like cryptocurrency to increase his wealth and the wealth of his rich, D.C. friends. We do not recommend voting for Nick Begich.
Eric Hafner is running from a federal prison cell, where he is serving a 20-year sentence for threatening to kill judges, police officers, and other New Jersey officials. He is not a serious candidate and has never resided in Alaska, or even stepped foot in the state. While Hafner is registered as a Democrat, he is being supported as a Republican to spoil the election for Nick Begich. We do not recommend ranking Hafner at all.
Jim McDermott is a perennial Libertarian candidate. We do not recommend ranking McDermott at all.

Statewide
Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins of Sitka served a decade in the state House, where he passed the law making all 20 Alaska Native languages official languages of the state and earned a reputation for putting big ideas on the table and getting them done.
His campaign centers the boldest education plan in the field: a constitutional amendment to permanently dedicate funding to public schools, alongside forward funding and restoring a defined benefit pension. He has raised more money than any other candidate in the race, including the most individual donations from Alaskans, with endorsements from former Gov. Tony Knowles and legislators including Forrest Dunbar and Calvin Schrage.
His running mate is Anchorage Assembly member Zac Johnson. JKT and Johnson have vowed to take a nonpartisan approach fixing Alaska issues and to have an administration with an equal number of Democrats, Republicans and Independents.
We recommend ranking the Kreiss-Tomkins/Johnson ticket first for Governor.

Other Candidates
Bernadette Wilson is the former state director of Americans for Prosperity, the Koch-funded group that fought pension restoration and public school funding. She is campaigning to repeal Alaska's open primaries, opposes a defined benefit pension, and chose as her running mate Mike Shower, a hard-line former senator who asked the attorney general to investigate unproven election fraud claims and made election restrictions his signature issue. We do not recommend voting for the Wilson/Shower ticket.
Anchorage voters already fired Dave Bronson once. His single term as mayor was defined by chaos: mass staff turnover, a $250,000 settlement with a fired city manager who alleged illegal conduct, and approved illegal contracts. Now he wants to run the state. We do not recommend voting for the Bronson/Church ticket.
As attorney general, Treg Taylor un-recused himself to defend spending public correspondence school money on private school tuition, a practice his own family used. At his direction, the state human rights commission stopped reviewing most LGBTQ+ discrimination complaints, keeping only employment cases. He has repeatedly refused to fully disclose his income in this race, as is required by law. We do not recommend voting for the Taylor/English ticket.

State Senate
State Senate District E
Sen. Cathy Giessel is the Senate Majority Leader and the clearest example of what Alaska's open primary system protects: a Republican who lost a party primary for working across the aisle, then won her seat back once all voters had a say.
She has been the Legislature's leading champion of restoring a defined benefit pension and voted to override the governor's education vetoes. We recommend ranking Giessel first for Senate District E.

Statewide Ballot Measures
Ballot Measure 2 would undo our election system and hand power back to political parties and hidden donors. It would repeal the open primary system, where every voter can vote for whatever candidate they want.
It would also undo the campaign finance transparency rules Alaskans approved in 2020, allowing dark money back into Alaska's elections. Additionally, Candidates for governor and lieutenant governor would run separately in party primaries.
Alaskans originally passed our election system, and have now defended it again at the ballot. The repeal effort is run by political operatives working to put political parties back in power, and is financed by Elon Musk, the world's richest person.
The measure would also roll back rules that let Alaskans know who is paying for political ads. It would eliminate disclosure requirements for digital ads, out-of-state donations and "dark money" contributions that hide the true source of funds. It would remove limits on donations to joint governor and lieutenant governor campaigns, narrow what counts as a campaign expenditure and eliminate some penalties for breaking the rules.
Alaskans chose open primaries, ranked choice voting and campaign transparency in 2020, and a nearly identical repeal failed in 2024.

Ballot Measure 3 would change the wording of Alaska's voter qualification law, but it would not change who can vote. Alaska law already requires that someone must be a United States citizen and meet other requirements to vote. That would stay the same whether this measure passes or fails. This measure is an attempt to scare people into thinking noncitizens are voting in our elections when they aren't.
