Mary Peltola won Alaska's special congressional election Wednesday and will finish the remainder term of the late Rep. Don Young until January.
Peltola will be the first Alaska native to serve in Congress. Young had held the seat for nearly 50 years. Peltola, former Gov. Sarah Palin and Nick Begich ran both in a special election to fill out the rest of Young's term and will run in the general election for a new term. Wednesday's results will be confirmed by the state elections board in the coming days.

#Alaska #Election #GOP
Makes me smile. Alaskan native
Wow, she didn’t say the election was stolen from her. Hahaha.
Not yet
I think Alaskan didn’t want to see Palin quitting again in the middle of an even shorter term LOL
Yaaay!
That’s what happens to her she should apply for another job
I don’t know anything about Peltola, but happy for her. win. I lived in AK when Palin delayed the Denali gas pipeline project by making it very difficult for the producers. She is all politics and no substance.
She’s definitely no substance, but she’s not all politics. She’s a grifter, plain and simple.
Palin squealing like a banshee when she lost
Wow, like minds, I called her a shreaking harpy! 🤣
Red wave lookin a lil thinner
Not even a puddle anymore. It’s just a damp spot on the sidewalk.
Peltola supports fishermen. Palin supports rich guys who hunt wolves from helicopters. Easy choice.
Truth!!!
👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️☀️☀️☀️☀️
Good good good.hahahaha
Congratulations 🎊 way to go Alaska 🙌🏼🇺🇸
MAGA is having a bad few weeks
Sweet👍!!!!!!
Thank God!!
You Alaskans are very smart! It doesn’t matter if you’re republicans or democrat. If he or she leaves midterm for a book deal, he or she doesn’t care about you
🤣
Alaska finally voted for an Alaskan, not some carpet-bagging opportunist.
She doesn’t get it. Since 2008 Alaskans keep telling her they don’t want her. That’s 14 years of losing. The woman is a dumbo and a creep. Looking forward to her next humiliation.
Thank the good lord
