Dem Rep. Mary Peltola Flips Seat, Defeats Sarah Palin

Representative Mary Peltola, Democrat of Alaska and the first Alaska Native woman to serve in Congress, on Wednesday won a full term in the House, according to The Associated Press, holding back three conservative challengers.

Ms. Peltola first won the seat in an August special election to finish the term of Representative Don Young, a Republican who died in March.

Her victory, which flipped the seat for Democrats for the first time in 50 years, was considered an upset against Sarah Palin, the former governor and vice-presidential candidate.
