Alaska U.S. Rep. Mary Peltola, a Democrat, has embraced the legacy of her Republican predecessor, the late Rep. Don Young, as she seeks a full two-year term to Alaska's only U.S. House seat.
Peltola, in an ad, referred to the seat as “Don Young’s seat in Congress.” She also has said the race is about “carrying on” Young’s legacy, which she said was about putting Alaska first. Young, who held the seat for 49 years, died in March.
