Revision as of 08:15, 18 August 2022

The 2022 United States Senate election in Alaska will be held on November 8, 2022. Incumbent three-term Republican U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski is running for reelection to a fourth term.

After the voter approval of Ballot Measure 2 during the 2020 elections in Alaska, this will be the first U.S. Senate election in Alaska held under a new election process. All candidates will run in a nonpartisan blanket top-four primary on August 16, 2022,^[1] and the top four candidates will advance to the general election. Voters will then utilize ranked-choice voting during the general election.^[2]

On March 16, 2021, the Alaska Republican Party voted to censure Murkowski and announced that it would recruit a Republican challenger in the 2022 election cycle.^[3]^[4] Murkowski's opposition to some of his initiatives and her vote for conviction during his second impeachment trial made former U.S. President Donald Trump pledge to campaign against her in 2022.^[5]^[6]

Murkowski was appointed to the Senate in 2002 by her father, Frank Murkowski, who had just resigned from the seat himself after he had been elected Governor of Alaska. Defeated in the Republican primary in the 2010 election,^[7] she went on to win the general election as a write-in candidate, one of only two U.S. senators to have ever done so, the only other time occurring in 1954.^[8]^[9]
