Mary Peltola (D-Alaska) was projected to win the race for Alaska\u2019s at-large congressional district, delivering her a full term after she won a competitive special election this summer following the death of Rep.

Sarah Palin (R); Nick Begich (R), the former co-chairman for Young\u2019s 2020 reelection campaign; and libertarian Chris Bye to hold the seat.

She was recommended to serve on the Committee on Natural Resources and the Committee on Education and Labor in her first months in Congress.<\/p>\n<p>In late October, shortly before Election Day, two of Young\u2019s children and one of his former staffers endorsed Peltola in the race for a full term following the late congressman\u2019s death.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cMy father believed in Alaska and Alaskan people, and Mary Peltola is going to carry on that legacy,\u201d Dawn Vallely, one of Young\u2019s two daughters, said in an ad the trio cut in support of Peltola.<\/p>\n<p>In the final stretch of the campaign, both Palin and Begich\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adn.com\/politics\/2022\/11\/05\/alaska-candidates-make-final-appeals-before-election-day\/\">urged voters<\/a>\u00a0to \u201crank the red,\u201d a rallying cry touted by the Republican Party that encourages Alaskans to rank the two Republicans first in the state\u2019s new voting system.<\/p>\n<p>That effort, however, was not enough to shake support from Peltola, who is headed back to the Capitol for a full two years.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Peltola\u2019s victory marks another loss for Palin, who sought a political comeback with the Alaska House race.
