Nicholas Begich (R) defeated incumbent Rep. Mary Peltola (D), Eric Hafner (D), and John Howe (Alaskan Independence Party) in the general election for Alaska's At-Large Congressional District on Nov. 5, 2024. Click here for detailed results. Peltola was one of 15 incumbents who lost their re-election campaigns to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2024. Additionally, this was one of 19 seats that changed partisan control due to the 2024 U.S. House of Representatives elections.
Peltola and Begich led in polling, fundraising, and local media attention.
Peltola defeated Begich and Sarah Palin (R) in a special election in 2022 with 51.5% of the vote in the final round of ranked-choice voting. Under ranked-choice voting, voters rank the candidates on the ballot in order of preference rather than voting for one candidate. If no one candidate has more than 50% of the first-choice vote, the lowest-ranked candidate is eliminated and votes are tallied again with the eliminated candidates' votes redistributed to their voters' next choice. The process repeats until one candidate receives more than 50% of the vote.
In the special election, Peltola won 40.2% of the first-place vote to Palin's 31.3% and Begich's 28.5%, leading to Begich's elimination. In the second round of counting, Peltola defeated Palin 51.5% to 48.5%. In the regularly-scheduled election later that year, the first-choice vote was 48.7% for Peltola, 25.8% for Palin, 23.6% for Begich, and 1.9% for Chris Bye (L). Bye was eliminated in the second round, leaving the totals at 49.2% for Peltola, 26.3% for Palin, and 24.5% for Begich. After Begich's elimination, Peltola defeated Palin 55.0% to 45.0% in the third round.
The 2024 election was also held using a ranked-choice ballot. Voters also voted on a ballot measure that would have repealed the state's use of ranked-choice voting and top-four primaries. If the measure had passed, future elections would have be conducted using the same system of partisan primaries and plurality voting in general elections that were in use in Alaska until 2020.
Peltola was the first Democrat elected to represent Alaska in the U.S. House since 1972.
Based on post-general election reports filed with the Federal Election Commission, Peltola raised $13.41 million and spent $13.61 million, and Begich raised $2.72 million and spent $2.58 million. To review all the campaign finance figures in full detail, click here.
Before the election, four major election forecasters rated the race a toss-up.
Peltola and Begich were the top two finishers in the top-four primary on August 20, 2024. Howe and Hafner were the fifth- and sixth-place finishers and advanced to the general election after Nancy Dahlstrom (R) and Matthew Salisbury (R) dropped out. Dahlstrom, the then-lieutenant governor, received 19.9% of the primary vote and had an endorsement from former President Donald Trump (R). In a statement announcing her withdrawal, Dahlstrom said she "entered this race because Alaskans deserve better representation than what we have received from Mary Peltola in Washington...At this time, the best thing I can do to see that goal realized is to withdraw my name from the general election ballot and end my campaign."[1]
On September 12, 2024, the Alaska Supreme Court ruled against the Democratic Party of Alaska in a suit it filed seeking Hafner's removal from the ballot. The party said that Hafner, who was serving a 20-year prison sentence and had never resided in Alaska, was ineligible to take office.[2] In the ruling, the court found that Hafner met the requirements to file as a candidate even if he had not met the requirements to take office, concluding that there was "no basis under Alaska law or otherwise to challenge a candidate preemptively under constitutional grounds."[3]
Begich was the founder of a software development firm and a technology-focused investment group. Begich said he was running because "Washington is broken: lost opportunities for Alaskans, a focus on so many of the wrong priorities, big government lobbyists and insiders who are selling our nation to the highest bidder, and a President who often can’t find his own way off a stage."[4]
Peltola was a former state legislator, development manager, and fisherwoman. Peltola said she had "worked with our bipartisan delegation to bring home projects that will strengthen the permanent fund, preserve our fisheries, lower our energy costs, and create high-paying union jobs for regular Alaskans...Alaska only works when we work together and ignore Lower 48 partisanship."[5]
The outcome of this race affected the partisan balance of the U.S. House of Representatives in the 119th Congress. All 435 House districts were up for election.
At the time of the election, Republicans held a 220-212 majority with three vacancies.[6] As a result of the election, Republicans retained control of the U.S. House, winning 220 seats to Democrats' 215.[7] To read more about the 2024 U.S. House elections, click here.
In the 2022 election in this district, the Democratic candidate won 55.0%-45.0%. Daily Kos calculated what the results of the 2020 presidential election in this district would have been following redistricting. Donald Trump (R) would have defeated Joe Biden (D) 53.1%-43.0%.[8]

Polls

Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals.[9] The Pew Research Center wrote, "A margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level means that if we fielded the same survey 100 times, we would expect the result to be within 3 percentage points of the true population value 95 of those times."[10] For tips on reading polls from FiveThirtyEight, click here.

Race ratings
- See also: Race rating definitions and methods
Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[13]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[14][15][16]

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Alaska in 2024. Information below was calculated on July 10, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Twelve candidates ran for Alaska's At-Large Congressional District, including two Democrats, four Republicans, two non-major party candidates, three nonpartisan candidates, and one undeclared candidate. Twenty-two candidates ran in 2022, six candidates ran in 2020, and seven ran in 2018.
The number of candidates who ran in 2024 is also the second-most in the last 10 years.
Alaska's At-Large Congressional District was not open in 2024 because incumbent Rep. Mary Peltola (D-AL) ran for re-election. The only election year that the district was open in the last 10 years was 2022.
Democratic and Republican candidates filed to run in the primary, meaning the district was not guaranteed to either party.
Alaska utilizes a top-four primary system. In a top-four primary system, primary candidates run in a single primary election, regardless of the candidate's party affiliation. The four candidates that receive the most votes advance to the general election. In the general election, voters use ranked-choice voting to select the winner.Partisan Voter Index
Heading into the 2024 elections, based on results from the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was R+8. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 8 percentage points more Republican than the national average. This made Alaska's At-Large the 167th most Republican district nationally.[20]
2020 presidential election results
The table below shows what the vote in the 2020 presidential election would have been in this district. The presidential election data was compiled by Daily Kos.
