Alaska House race moved to “Toss-Up” after new poll

September 6, 2024

Following a new poll yesterday showing Nick Begich poised to beat extreme Democrat Mary Peltola, today the Cook Political Report moved the Alaska House race from “Lean Democrat” to “Toss-Up.” 

The move reinforced Nick Begich’s growing momentum after the primary. They noted Peltola “will have to run in a one-on-one race against a Republican for the first time.”

“Mary Peltola has nowhere to hide in this head-to-head race as Nick Begich surges ahead. While Peltola carries water for Kamala Harris, Joe Biden and the radical Squad, Nick Begich stands ready to fight for Alaska’s values and interests.” – NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen
