Our Pick
Mary Peltola
Why Peltola
Peltola got 89% of her money from individuals and only 2% from PACs, and wants stricter money rules. Sullivan got 21% from PACs, many of them trade groups and contractors, and grades F.
The Catch
Integrity Index gives her a D, and much of her side's money comes from Senate Democrats' super PAC. The New York Times says an operative tied to her campaign urged the second Dan Sullivan to run; she denies knowing.
No candidate is perfect. We back the best one, then keep holding them accountable.
