David Leslie’s Bold Move in Alaska Senate Race | Anchorage News

Alaska’s Senate race just got wilder as David Leslie, a Democratic Socialist from Fairbanks, made the top four — a surprise move that could backfire for Democrats or help them. With millions spent on fringe candidates and strategic spoiler plays, Leslie’s candidacy is now a political chess piece: if he drops out before August 31, Republican Gerald Heikes might replace him — potentially boosting Democrat Mary Peltola. But Leslie, Iñupiaq and deeply principled, isn’t backing down. He’s running to challenge Peltola on Palestine, climate, and ICE — believing his presence will energize progressives and leverage ranked-choice voting to ensure their votes count. He’s not playing games — he’s playing for democracy, and Alaska’s voters are leading the way.
