Eric Hafner, a man serving time in a federal prison in New York, advanced from the primary for Alaska's lone U.S. House seat. Hafner, a Democrat, pleaded guilty in 2022 to making threats against police officers, judges and others, and is set to be released in 2036. He had received 5,757 votes after 93% of ballots had been counted, listed a Box Elder, South Dakota mailing address and a New York phone number matching those of his mother, Carol Hafner, and had also run for the seat in 2024, securing a spot on that year's general election ballot.
