Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 25 Oct, 17:56 · Archive
Alaska Democratic Senate candidate Mary Peltola sustained minor injuries when another driver struck her vehicle.
Mary Peltola and her family were travelling to the Alaska Federation of Natives Annual Banquet when another driver struck their vehicle, causing injuries requiring medical attention. Peltola's campaign said she and her family sustained 'minor injuries' and are in good spirits.
On medical advice, Peltola is rescheduling campaign events as she recovers. Her campaign manager Cheryl Bruce said the 53-year-old was 'disappointed that the accident is delaying the start of her Alaska Always Tour' and was 'eager to get back on the campaign trail'. Events scheduled for Sunday and Monday would be rescheduled in the coming days.
Peltola is seeking to unseat Republican Senator Dan Sullivan in a race that will also feature two other candidates under Alaska's ranked-choice election system. She was the top vote-getter in the August primary and became the first Democrat to represent Alaska in the House in 50 years when she was elected four years ago.
