## Resource

Alaskas U.S. Senate race features Republican Senator Dan Sullivan and Democratic challenger Mary Peltola, both supporting big oil and mining projects. Sullivan fully endorses projects like the Donlin gold mine and Ambler Road, while Peltolas team only greenlights regulatory progress for community input. Critics question both candidates records, with Sullivan facing scrutiny over old ties to the rejected Pebble mine. Polls show Alaskans favor these projects for jobs and lower costs, but demand environmental safeguards, giving Republicans an edge. Peltola, however, has posted record fundraising from small donors. The race highlights how resource fights shape Alaska votes, especially with Senate control on the line. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
