From Fox News: Conservative Republican Nick Begich has won a tight race for Alaska’s lone seat in the House of Representatives, according to the Associated Press.
Begich defeated his main rival, Rep. Mary Peltola, D-Alaska, the first Native Alaskan in Congress, and one of only five House Democrats currently representing a district won by President-elect Trump in 2020.
The win widens the Republican majority in the House to 219 and 213 for Democrats.
The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) posted a statement on X which reads, “Congratulations to Congressman-elect @NickforAlaska on his resounding victory! Alaskans just sent an America First fighter to drain the swamp and stop the liberal war on #AKAL. Congressman-elect Begich will deliver.”
