Alaska's at-large congressional district
Coverage: this seat is included in the 2026 national listing. State candidate coverage class: candidate coverage verified from the state's official list. Absence of candidate rows is not evidence that a race has no candidates — see the coverage ledger.
Candidate source
Candidate source: Alaska Division of Elections (elections.alaska.gov) — Candidates - 2026 General Election, Election Date November 3, 2026 (page last updated September 25, 2026 at 8:16 am) (retrieved 2026-09-28). Absence of a candidate row is never evidence that a race has no candidates.
How the candidate list was checked
Rows read from the official source: 10 · published here: 10 · left out by rule: 0 · held back for review: 0. AK Division of Elections certified candidate page for the 2026 General Election (updated 2026-09-25). US Senate = Class 2 regular (Sullivan, Dan S. (R) incumbent; two same-surname candidates both certified: Sullivan Dan S. and Sullivan Daniel J. Jr. - preserved verbatim). US Representative at-large: Begich (R, incumbent), Hafner (D), Hill (Nonpartisan), McDermott (Registered Libertarian). Status mapping verbatim: "(Certified)" -> qualified_for_general; "Certified Write-In" -> write_in (Senate: Hill Undeclared, McElwain Registered Republican). Party strings as printed ("Registered Republican" etc.). Governor/Lt-Governor and state-legislative sections present in artifact but out of scope. Note: write-in filing deadline was 2026-06-01 and withdrawal deadline 2026-08-31 per the page; page carries no withdrawal markers for federal races. Status fix (batch E final pass): "Certified Write-In" rows (US Senate: Hill, Sidney "Sid" (Undeclared); McElwain, Heather (Registered Republican)) carry status write_in; "(Certified)" rows carry qualified_for_general.

This seat's geography is exactly coterminous with its state (or the District), so the state estimates from the same edition apply directly.
Structural five-year survey conditions — not current monthly conditions. Uncertainties are 90% margins of error: the published ACS margin for median income; Census-formula approximations (ACS handbook ch. 8) for the rates. “Margin unavailable” means the source supplies no usable margin — never zero.
Campaign finances
2025-2026 two-year period (FEC cycle 2026). Committee totals are the FEC’s own candidate-level aggregation — never summed from committee rows here. Independent spending is reported separately and is never part of a candidate’s receipts. An FEC registration is not proof of ballot qualification; candidacy status comes verbatim from the accepted release.
General election · November 3, 2026
“No matching FEC candidate record” means no filing was located — it is never evidence that a candidacy does not exist, and never a ballot-status claim. Candidates’ coverage dates can differ; each row carries its own.
