Where the candidates stand

Election records currently list no documented policy positions for Peltola or any other candidate in this race. That means the official candidate entries do not establish their positions on federal spending, natural resources, fisheries, public lands, health care or other issues that may come before Alaska’s U.S. House member.

The records also list no candidate biographies. The financial entries show reported fundraising and spending, but they do not describe candidates’ experience, priorities or plans for serving Alaska in the House.

What comes next

The general election is set for Nov. 3, 2026. Before voting, Alaskans can watch for updates to candidate records, including biographies, documented policy positions and campaign-finance figures. Those updates would give voters more information for comparing all 13 candidates on the same terms.
