Alaska's Lt. Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom Challenges Incumbent Rep. Mary Peltola for House Seat

Dahlstrom enters the race as the second Republican candidate, intensifying the competition for the highly-watched 2024 contest.

Alaska's Republican Lt. Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom has announced her bid for the state's sole seat in the United States House of Representatives, challenging incumbent Rep. Mary Peltola (D-AK) for the seat.
Dahlstrom is the second Republican to enter the race, following Nick Begich III, who also ran against Peltola in 2022.
Peltola first won the seat in a special election in 2022 after Republican Rep. Don Young died. Young had occupied the seat for 49 years.
The Alaska race will be one of the most-watched contests in 2024, and it is one of the top targets for conservatives hoping to keep the House.
Dahlstrom, in her campaign announcement, characterized herself as a 'tough fighter,' who 'will stop [President] Biden and the extreme liberals ruining our future, bankrupting our families, killing our jobs, harming our military and veterans, and threatening our security.'
