Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s bid to fill the House seat of late Rep. Don Young is alive and well after she picked up the most votes in a nonpartisan special election primary on Saturday.
Ms. Palin, the 2012 GOP vice presidential nominee, topped a field of 48 candidates, including an opponent running under his legally adopted name, Santa Claus.
Mrs. Palin moves on to a four-person special general election in August alongside Nick Begich, the Republican grandson of former Rep. Nick Begich, and Al Gross, the 2020 Democratic Senate nominee who is running as an independent.
