"Nick Begich's Second Bid to Unseat Incumbent Democrat in Alaska's U.S. House Race"

Republican Nick Begich, a prominent activist in Alaska, has announced his candidacy for Congress, potentially setting up a rematch against incumbent Democrat Mary Peltola. Begich previously ran in the 2022 special and general elections, coming in third behind Peltola and Sarah Palin. Republicans have targeted Alaska's sole House seat as a key objective in the 2024 election. Begich's family has a strong political legacy in the state, with his uncle serving as Anchorage's mayor and U.S. senator, and his grandfather as a former member of Congress.
