Rep. Mary Peltola (D-AK) became the first Alaska Native to win a full term in Congress, securing reelection along with Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), who both defeated challengers endorsed by former president Donald Trump after state officials finished a final round of vote-counting, the Washington Post reports.
“Peltola, who made history with her August special election win, and Murkowski, a senator for two decades, led after earlier vote counts. But the centrist lawmakers’ victories were not clinched until Wednesday, when the Alaska Division of Elections redistributed votes under the state’s new ranked-choice voting system.”
