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.
Much remains up in the air after election day in Alaska. But as vote counts started to roll in, some clear storylines emerged — a ballot measure to hold a constitutional convention was soundly defeated, Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy appeared to have the votes to retain office, Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski was in a good position to fend off her Trump-backed challenger and Rep. Mary Peltola, a Democrat and the first Alaska Native elected to Congress, benefitted from the wave of support that followed her victory in the special election.
Host Elizabeth Harball talks to ADN politics reporters Iris Samuels and Sean Maguire about early results and ongoing uncertainties as the state continues to count ballots in its first ranked choice general election.
