The election coincided with the 2020 U.S. presidential election , as well as other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate and various state and local elections .
The incumbent is Republican Don Young , who was re-elected with 53.1% of the vote in 2018 , in what was one of the closest elections of his long career.[1] Young is the longest-tenured member of the U.S. House of Representatives. He was first elected in a 1973 Special Election .[2] He currently serves on several committees including as a ranking member of a House Natural Resources subcommittee.[3] In 2019, Young introduced 37 bills, 4 of which made it out of committee.[3] Challenging Don Young is Independent candidate Alyse Galvin.[4] Galvin is a small business owner, former teacher, and founder of the non-profit Great Alaska Schools.[2] Galvin has never held public office.
