Democrat former Rep. Mary Peltola and Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan sparred Wednesday in a fiery final debate for the U.S. Senate seat in Alaska, touching on the war in Iran, economic worries and fisheries management. The hourlong event was billed as the campaign's last head-to-head forum before Election Day and drew sharp exchanges between the two candidates.
The debate was hosted by Alaska Public Media in partnership with Alaska’s News Source and KTOO, which organized the hourlong program that focused on several issues of local and national importance. According to the event description, both candidates addressed foreign policy, the state economy and the fishing industry—topics central to many Alaskans.
Peltola, identified in coverage as a Democrat and former member of the U.S. House, faced off against incumbent Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan, who is seeking a third term in the Senate. Organizers and local reporters characterized the matchup as a heated finale to a closely watched race in the state.
