Alaska Republican drops out of three-way House race, dealing surprise blow to Democrats nationally
Fox News
With the withdrawal of Nancy Dahlstrom, Alaska's House race now effectively becomes a race between Democrat Mary Peltola and Republican Nick Begich III, now favoring the GOP.
While Dahlstrom did not immediately endorse Begich, she suggested in comments announcing her withdrawal that her reason for running was to see Peltola defeated. Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
"I entered this race because Alaskans deserve better representation than what we have received from Mary Peltola in Washington," Dahlstrom said in a statement. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
