Democrat Mary Peltola will be the first Alaska Native in Congress after she won a special election that included former Gov. Sarah Palin, NBC News projects.

As Alaska — and America — now sees, the exact opposite is true," she said in a statement. She will compete against Peltola and Begich again in November to determine who will serve a full two-year term in the House. Palin simply doesn’t have enough support from Alaskans to win an election," Begich said in a statement. [finished fourth](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/sarah-palin-advances-special-alaska-house-race-primary-rcna33151) in a crowded nonpartisan primary in June, when 48 candidates battled to secure one of the four spots on the Aug. “Ranked-choice voting was sold as the way to make elections better reflect the will of the people. No candidate won more than 50% of the vote in the Aug.

"As we look forward to the November election, I will work hard to earn the vote of Alaskans all across the state.” The longtime GOP lawmaker represented Alaska for almost 50 years in Congress. Palin, the GOP's vice presidential candidate in 2008, will have another chance at reviving her political comeback. “Though we’re disappointed in this outcome, Alaskans know I’m the last one who’ll ever retreat.

First Thing: Sarah Palin loses Alaska race to Democrat Mary Peltola (The Guardian)

Peltola's win makes her the first Alaska Native to serve in the House. Plus, 'supermajority' of up to 80% of Americans back climate action.

Apostolopoulos was informed last year that he would be awarded a medal for his work rescuing refugees off the Greek coast, but was then told it had been withdrawn, with media reports suggesting the U-turn was a result of government pressure. The average person in the US estimates that just 37-43% of the public back such policies. “If love of country means accepting the killing of refugees on our border, then I’m proud to be a traitor,” he says. Black people were 2.9 times more likely to be killed by police than white people in the US, it said. There have been credible allegations of torture, forced abortion and sterilization, the UN report says. The The Columbus officer Ricky Anderson was attempting to serve the man, identified as 20-year-old Donovan Lewis, an arrest warrant. Lewis was being apprehended on charges of improperly handling a firearm, assault and domestic violence. Along with Peltola and the other Republican candidate, Nick Begich, she will run again for a two-year term in November. A vape pen was found on the bed beside him. During the campaign, she emphasized her support for such issues as abortion rights. Why was there a special election?

Yup'ik Democrat Mary Peltola beats Sarah Palin in Alaska special ... (CBC.ca)

Democrat Mary Peltola won the special election for Alaska's only U.S. House seat on Wednesday, besting a field that included Republican Sarah Palin, ...

Along with Peltola and Begich, she is among the candidates vying for a full two-year term that will be decided in the November general election. Peltola said she got a boost after the June special primary when she won endorsements from Democrats and independents who had been in the race. Palin's defeat in the special election doesn't necessarily mean she has lost her shot for the U.S. But the state also has a history of rewarding candidates with an independent streak. She will be the first Democrat to hold the seat since the late U.S. "And my hope is that we shy away from the really extreme-type candidates and politicians." If no one hits that threshold, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated. In her run for the House seat, she had widespread name recognition and won the endorsement of former president Donald Trump. Begich was later declared dead and Young in 1973 was elected to the seat. Peltola, who is Yup'ik, will become the first Native American woman to represent Alaska in the House. Peltola will serve the remaining months of the late Republican U.S. Democrat Mary Peltola won the special election for Alaska's only U.S.

The significance of Sarah Palin's loss (The Washington Post)

The headline from the Alaska special election is that Democrat Mary Peltola defeated former governor and 2008 GOP vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

(These voters might not have fully understood how the state’s new system worked, either.) And Alaska has an independent streak; it’s a red state, but it has elected both a Democratic senator and an independent governor who aligned with Democrats in the recent past. But in some crucial Senate races that could determine the balance of that chamber, there is no such mulligan available. Alaska is not directly comparable, in that it was a special election, where recent races suggest Democrats have a turnout advantage that might not be replicated in November. But that’s still half of voters for a Republican candidate being unwilling to rank another Republican as their backup. Almost as many Begich voters picked Peltola as their second choice (15,445) or didn’t rank one of the two finalists (11,222) as ranked Palin behind Begich (27,042). And while the race featured an unusual setup, this one might be more ominous for the GOP than its recent predecessors — for one key reason.

"We built a great deal of momentum in a short time," Peltola added. She quit the governor's office in 2009, midway through her lone term in Juneau, under a cloud of ethics investigations and legal battles. She is likely to receive votes from many of the same voters who back Trump-endorsed Kelly Tshibaka against Republican Sen. Of those who voted for Begich, half ranked Palin, the only other Republican on the ballot in the special election, as their second choice. Peltola, in an interview with CNN on Wednesday hours before the ranked-choice results were tabulated, said she saw abortion rights as a key issue in her race. Johnson was up for reelection -- has elected a Democrat to fill an at-large House seat that had been in GOP hands for nearly 50 years. "Alaskans know I'm the last one who'll ever retreat. Peltola is set to make history as the first Alaska Native elected to Congress -- though she may only hold the seat for a few months. Democrats, meanwhile, focused their message largely on abortion rights, energizing portions of the electorate that the party had feared would sit out the midterms. Now, Alaska -- a state that has voted for Republicans in every presidential election since Lyndon B. Though Alaska's political environment is unique, the race bore the hallmarks of a slew of other races that could decide which party controls the House and Senate after November's election.

Élection spéciale en Alaska | La démocrate Mary Peltola a le dessus ... (La Presse)

La démocrate Mary Peltola a remporté l'élection partielle pour l'unique siège de la Chambre des représentants de l'Alaska, en battant une liste de candidats ...

Mme Peltola a déclaré avoir reçu un coup de pouce après les primaires spéciales de juin, lorsqu’elle a obtenu le soutien de démocrates et d’indépendants qui avaient participé à la course. Mme Palin est ensuite devenue une commentatrice conservatrice à la télévision et a participé à des émissions de téléréalité, entre autres. Mme Palin s’est également élevée contre le système de vote par ordre d’importance, qui a été institué par les électeurs de l’Alaska. Les résultats de mercredi ont été une déception pour Mme Palin, qui cherchait à faire un retour en politique 14 ans après avoir été propulsée sur la scène nationale lorsque John McCain l’a choisie pour être sa colistière lors de l’élection présidentielle de 2008. Mme Peltola, qui est Yupik et a eu 49 ans mercredi, deviendra la première Autochtone de l’Alaska à siéger à la Chambre des représentants et la première femme à occuper ce siège. La victoire de Mme Peltola, qui a eu lieu lors de la première élection à l’échelle de l’État de l’Alaska, est une aubaine pour les démocrates, surtout après des résultats meilleurs que prévu lors d’élections partielles dans tout le pays cette année, à la suite de l’annulation de l’arrêt Roe c.
