Democrat Mary Peltola wins Alaska Congress seat, defeating former GOP Gov. Sarah Palin

Peltola’s victory, coming in Alaska’s first statewide ranked choice voting election, means she will replace GOP Rep. Don Young who died in March.

It's a special election, so she'll get a few months in office and then have to run again in November

    for sure. but like in a certain sense the personal leanings of a candidate don't really matter nearly as much as their willingness to bite the hand when the opportunity presents itself, and it only does so very rarely. i suspect we'll only find out what she's really made of if she wins her reelection and the Dems feel like they have to bring her to heel.
