Democratic Senate candidate Mary Peltola has dismissed a long-serving senior aide and appointed a new campaign manager just days before Alaska's Senate primary election.

Mary Peltola's campaign stated its focus is on issues important to Alaska and that it did not approve a message of support from Vice President Kamala Harris.

The Alaska Senate race is drawing attention due to two Republican candidates sharing the same name, with observers also noting Democrat Mary Peltola as a significant threat.

Mary Peltola, the first Native Alaskan elected to Congress, has debuted her first television ad in the high-profile Alaska Senate contest, as Democrats aim to unseat Senator Dan Sullivan.

Mary Peltola, a Democratic candidate for a US Senate seat in Alaska, has rejected unsolicited fundraising support from fellow Democrat Kamala Harris, where half of the donations would go to Harris's organization.
