What’s being decided
A primary election determines which candidates advance to the November general election. Voters in each party select their nominee, and the winners face each other in the fall.
Alaska holds an top-two primary — all candidates appear on a single ballot and the top two advance regardless of party.
Candidates
U.S. Senate
Republican · Incumbent since 2002
Lisa Murkowski has represented Alaska in the U.S. Senate since 2002, when she was appointed by her father, then-Governor Frank Murkowski. She won a historic write-in campaign to retain her seat in 2010 after losing the Republican primary. One of the most moderate members of the Senate Republican caucus, she was one of seven Republican senators who voted to convict former President Trump in his second impeachment trial.
