Description: At the end of a Wednesday town hall, Alaska Democratic Senate frontrunner Mary Peltola avoided reporters’ questions about allegations from former staff members detailed in a New York Times report published that day.

Her campaign denies the slur allegation and said the staffer was bumped, not pushed. Members of her team described the water bottle incident as lighthearted.
