What to know

  • Peltola and her family were injured Saturday night when their vehicle, en route to the Alaska Federation of Natives Annual Banquet, was struck by another driver.
  • Her campaign says the injuries are minor but is postponing and rescheduling the start of her eight-stop 'Alaska Always Tour' with just nine days left before the Nov. 3 election.
  • The crash lands amid a razor-thin race: a RealClearPolitics average gave Peltola less than a 2-point lead over GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan.
  • A separate DOJ lawsuit is challenging certification of the race, alleging a second ballot candidate named Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. was placed there to confuse voters and draw votes from the incumbent.

“Mary is disappointed that the accident is delaying the start of her Alaska Always Tour, and she is eager to get back on the campaign trail to speak directly with Alaskans about her plan to take on the rigged system and lower costs for working families”

    Reports note tight race and DOJ lawsuit complicate timing

    Coverage placed the crash against a backdrop of a sub-2-point RealClearPolitics polling lead for Peltola over Sullivan and a DOJ lawsuit preemptively challenging certification of the race over a second, similarly named Sullivan candidate on the ballot.
