**Alaska’s August 18 top-four primary for the at-large U.S. House seat used the state’s nonpartisan open primary format, placing all candidates on a single ballot with the top four vote-getters advancing to the November 3 ranked-choice general election.** Incumbent Republican Nick Begich led with roughly 45 percent, followed by independent Bill Hill near 31 percent. Democrat Matt Schultz placed third but suspended his campaign before the primary and formally withdrew by the August 31 deadline, triggering successive withdrawals by lower finishers. This shifted fourth-place Democrat Eric Hafner (a federal inmate) and eighth-place Libertarian Jim McDermott into the advancing slots alongside Begich and Hill. Fifteen candidates filed initially, reflecting a crowded field typical under the top-four system. No further primary-related events remain, as results are certified and the general election field is now set.
