Alaska Public Media, in partnership with Alaska’s News Source and KTOO, presents Debate for the State 2024: U.S. House, a statewide debate between the top two candidates for Alaska’s only seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
After the August primary, incumbent Democrat Mary Peltola and Republican challenger Nick Begich have pulled far ahead of the other candidates and will go head-to-head in a live debate on Thursday, October 10 from 7 to 8 p.m.
Alaska Public Media Chief Editor and Vice President of Journalism Lori Townsend and Alaska’s News Source Senior Anchor Rebecca Palsha will moderate as the two candidates clarify their positions and make the case for your vote in the November election.
Hear what sets these two candidates’ platforms apart on the economy, reproductive rights, immigration, political division and more.
This year, Alaska Public Media is reaching out to community organizations around the state to hear the questions that they want the candidates to answer, and viewers can even weigh in during the show. Tell the moderators what issues matter most to you with our live polling during the program.
After the debate is done, you can hear analysis of the candidates’ performance later this month on Alaska Insight when Lori Townsend moderates a discussion with Alaska political reporters recapping the debate on Friday, October 18 at 7p.m.
