- 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.
The report, which cites nine unnamed former staffers, alleges that Peltola used a homophobic slur, sometimes about her own staff, pushed a staffer and shoved a water bottle in a staff member’s face, among other claims. 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.

- In the days following a fatal plane crash in the Wrangell Mountains, family members and former passengers are remembering the two lives lost not by the tragedy of the crash, but by their deep faith, unwavering work ethic, and passion for the Alaskan wilderness.
Biologists are actively looking to euthanize a brown bear or pair of brown bears on the Anchorage Hillside that are posing an unacceptable public safety risk, the state says.
Alaska is on an island not just because of its distance from the Lower 48, but also because it’s one of the few states without an endorsement from President Donald Trump in the race for governor.
