Summary
Mary Peltola canceled Sunday and Monday campaign appearances after a Saturday night collision left her and her family with minor injuries requiring medical attention, her campaign said.
Another driver struck the vehicle carrying Peltola’s family as they traveled to the Alaska Federation of Natives annual banquet in Anchorage; authorities had not provided further details.
Fairbanks and Bethel stops on her newly launched seven-day “Alaska Always Tour” are being rescheduled for later in the week, while other events remain on track.
The disruption hits a closely watched Alaska Senate race in which Peltola is challenging Republican Senator Dan Sullivan for a seat central to control of the chamber.
