but for four months a democrat will represent alaska. in victory she thanked and paid homage to the republican who died opening the seat up. sarah palin says i may not be done yet. >> i intend to be in so many ways, you know, really trying to live up to the legacy that don laid for alaska and championed and worked for all alaskans. >> i do repeat that you don't need a title, you don't need an office to make a difference. so we're going to get out there, using whatever tools and forums and formats that we have to fight for what's right. >> our great reporters are back with us to discuss. number one, we'll see what happens in november. but this sarah palin, obviously a nationally known candidate, a celebrity, loses this race. but alaska now gets a democrat for the first time in nearly 50 years. democrats are ecstatic. here's what peltola told cnn about the abortion interview. she said he should saw abortion rights as a key issue in the race. alaska despite its republican leanings, has a libertarian bent. "we're very much covetous of our fr

for all alaska, don young. like all the pep people of alaska, we mourned his passing and this isn't the end. don was a true institution, an i con and fought so hard and so well for our state for 49 years. i know many of you loved don and i'm sorry for your loss, too. i'm committed to securing his legacy of bipartisan and few days in washington, i have been gun forming friendships with colleagues on both sides of the aisle. i might have a different approach. you know how soft-spoken he was. but you will be hearing about alaska, our people and our state's unique needs. i promised i would fight for our families to lower the cost of living that is pushing too much of us to the brink and invest in early education and good jobs that pay a fairly wage. resource development is important to alaska's economy and national energy security and i look to ensure that our state remains a global leader and i'm committed to fighting for our fish. for so many communities, fish are life. our fish harvest is the best in the world,

elect, mary peltola of alaska. i know you're not tired of hearing the intro, democratic congresswoman-elect, am i right? >> thank you so much, alex, and no, it hasn't gotten old yet. >> good. first, congratulations. and second, let's talk about what went down. for people who aren't that familiar with the way ranked choice voting works, is it generally the case, or usually the case that because of the system, you often end up with candidates who are less partisan, and more palatable to both sides? is that a fair assessment of how it all works in the end? >> well, we're still learning the process in alaska as well. this was the very first election that has been conducted under the new ranked choice voting system. but i am very optimistic and i think what it allows to happen is steering away from the closed primary process, which has really shown us that that has created an environment where folks are trying to out-democrat each other, our out-republican each other, to the point that we wind up with very extreme candi

where we're really seeing it is on the west coast of alaska. it's across alaska, in every river system, but especially in the eucom rivers, the post cotton, river in norton sound, we've had severe restrictions to the point where people who live on the yukon river who've had a 12,000-year relationship with salmon and our place faced because of that food security over the decades and centuries are now being completely precluded from fishing for even one salmon, to feed their own families. >> congresswoman, do you feel confident you're going to pull out a win in november? >> i'm optimistic. you know, we've really promoted civility and respectfulness and being very much concerned about the continuation of our democracy. and i'm really hopeful that, if you like my message of civility and respectful this, you will look at my website, mary peltola.com. so, play see my website, mary peltola. and i am optimistic, i'm looking forward to november. and looking for to the next few months of getting it across alaska and visiting more alaskans face to face, h

election for alaska's only seat in the u.s. congress. >> in 1973, republican gone don young went ran for and won alaska's only congressional seat in a special election. that same year, mary peltola, the democrat who would one day replace him, she was born. she would also go on to win alaska's lone house seat through a special election. although this time around, the process was very different. it was a ranked choice election, we knew that voters could rank their preferred candidates in order. if no candidate receives we the race becomes an instant runoff, in round two. the candidate with the fewest votes gets eliminated, and their votes go to the next choice. this keeps happening until two candidates are left, and then the candidate with the most votes wins. it sounds kind of confusing, but to win an election like this requires a sort of crossover appeal. as it turns out, that's just what we mary peltola has spent her career preparing for. she spent a decade working in the alaska state house, where she developed a reputation fo

in fact, there is a surplus of white town in south or in alaska this year. but the problem is that russia hasn't really gone from the market at all. we've ever says we have a lot of product that is banned from russia, but yet they have an inlet where they can go produce and china and then bring it in that way. and it's somewhat confusing. i've not clearly labeled. and i think that one of the things that we need to pay attention to carry leisure works in the crabbing industry in alaska, a market in which russia was also a major player, perhaps still is because leisure says russia is to come venting sanctions. it comes through other other countries and it's then processed in other countries and it's not required to have labeling when it comes into into our markets. and so russian crab can go to places like china, primarily china, and they cook it, and they, they processed that some of it may be a legally caught and, and then it's sent back into our market. and so without country country of origin labeling, there is no way to trace that back to russia, but leis

a painful example the was them deals alaska natives and native hawaiians. as the department lays out, they had a primary goal in mind. the forcible simulation of need in children. these schools work each will the suppressing native cultures and languages. they separated native children from their families, their homelands and indoctrinated them as i said kill the and it and save the man. i they're four years old at these boarding schools it was gut-wrenching. solitary confinement, withholding food making older children punish younger children with corporal punishment. unsanitary and overcrowded living conditions. the shameful list goes on we can't undo history but we must acknowledge it and we must look at the full scope of the failures with clear minds and fresh eyes. and most importantly must work directly with native communities on forging a path towards healing. recognizing the significance of this work, lands fissures here to provide us with an opening to help us set the tone for this important discussion. please rise if you are able >>, -- . >>. we wo
