ANCHORAGE, Alaska—Democrat Mary Peltola scored an upset victory in a special election for the state’s only U.S. House seat, frustrating the efforts of Republican former Gov. Sarah Palin to mount a political comeback, according to the Associated Press.

Ms. Palin, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, and Ms. Peltola, a former state legislator, were competing to fill the seat previously held by longtime Republican Rep. Don Young, who died in March and whose term expires in January. Another candidate, Republican Nick Begich III, trailed in third. All three are on the ballot again this November to run for the next term.

Democrat Mary Peltola, shown speaking with reporters earlier in August, won a three-way race for the U.S. House seat in Alaska.
