Lieutenant Governor Nancy Dahlstrom dropped out, citing a crowded field, while incumbent Senator Dan Sullivan faces off against a similarly named challenger. In the House, Republican Nick Begich defends his seat alongside newcomers, including Eric Hafner — a convicted felon — and his mother, running for Senate. With all candidates on one primary ballot, the top four from August’s vote will battle it out in November’s general election, making this Alaska’s most unpredictable race yet.
