CONFIRMED DEMOCRATIC CHALLENGER & RUMORED
No Democratic challenger has officially declared or been credibly rumored as of June 4, 2025.
Why Consider Voting for Lisa Murkowski
Although a Republican, Murkowski is one of the few in her party to vote against overturning the 2020 election, against the national abortion ban, and in favor of the Jan 6 Commission and the Voting Rights Act. She has drawn the ire of MAGA Republicans but earned support from independents and moderates. If no Democratic challenger emerges, Murkowski represents a non-MAGA option in Alaska.
