History

Historical Context

Alaska’s Senate races have long favored well-funded incumbents. Republican Ted Stevens, appointed in 1968, won every election from 1972 through 1990 with at least 66% of the vote, establishing a pattern of dominant margins. That legacy resurfaces in 2026, where Donald Trump’s Wasilla rally backs Dan Sullivan as Democrat Mary Peltola trails by two points.
