Detroit, MI, October 15, 2026 —
Incumbent Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan and Democratic challenger Mary Peltola are scheduled to take part in a televised debate in Alaska’s U.S. Senate race, according to the information provided about the contest.
The debate comes after President Donald Trump recently visited Alaska to rally support for Sullivan. The sequence of events highlights the election’s national importance, though details about the debate and the president’s visit were not provided.
The available information does not specify when or where the debate will take place, which broadcaster will air it, or what topics the candidates are expected to address. It also does not identify the organizers or say whether additional candidates will participate. No statements from Sullivan, Peltola or Trump were provided.
Sullivan is described as the incumbent Republican and Peltola as his Democratic challenger. Beyond those descriptions, the information does not include details about their campaign platforms, polling, fundraising or the broader state of the race. No election date or other schedule details were included.
The debate is therefore a planned event in a Senate contest that has drawn attention beyond Alaska, with Trump’s recent trip adding a national dimension to the campaign. Further specifics about the event and the candidates’ positions were not available in the information provided.
