Elections 2026

Democratic candidate proposes to eliminate income taxes for Alaskans earning less than the state’s median household income.

Professional counselor and Bethel resident Rick Robb is one of four candidates vying to represent the vast Senate District S in the Alaska Legislature. For years the seat has been held by Lyman Hoffman, who announced his retirement from politics last year.

Brelsford — an independent running against a stacked, mostly-Republican field of candidates in the 2026 race — bills himself as the education candidate. He believes Gov. Mike Dunleavy has sold out Alaska's schoolchildren when it comes to education funding.

Challenger Mary Peltola has vastly outraised U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan so far this year. What's the source of their campaign cash?

Peltola announced on April 13 that her campaign raised $8.9 million in the first quarter of the year, a record for any U.S. Senate campaign in Alaska.

Following a meet and greet event during his two-day visit to Bethel, Claman spoke to KYUK’s Samantha Watson about what was on voter’s minds and his plans to support the Y-K Delta if elected in the fall.

If you follow Mary Peltola on social media, maybe you’ve noticed that the former Alaska congresswoman is talking about more than fish, family and freedom as she runs for U.S. Senate.

The lifelong Bristol Bay commercial fisherman and retired school superintendent is a newcomer to politics who says he wants to hold billionaires to account and get rural Alaskans what they deserve.

The former congresswoman is challenging incumbent Republican Dan Sullivan. Nationally, Democrats have high hopes that she can flip the seat.
