ADN Politics is a podcast about all things political in Alaska. Each week, host Elizabeth Harball speaks with reporters, politicians, and Alaskans about some of the state’s biggest news stories.
In a major political upset, Democrat Mary Peltola this week beat Republican former Gov. Sarah Palin to be Alaska’s next representative in the U.S. House.
Who is Mary Peltola? How did she win? How did the Republican candidates lose? And what does Peltola’s victory mean in the lead-up to the general election in November?
On this episode, host Elizabeth Harball is joined by Anchorage Daily News reporter Iris Samuels to discuss all these questions and more about Alaska’s unique, high-profile special election for Alaska’s lone seat in the U.S. House.
