The 2008 United States Senate election in Alaska was held on November 4, 2008. Incumbent Republican U.S. Senator and former President pro tempore Ted Stevens ran for re-election to a eighth term in the United States Senate. It was one of the ten Senate races that U.S. Senator John Ensign of Nevada, the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, predicted as being most competitive. The primaries were held on August 26, 2008. Stevens was challenged by Democratic candidate Mark Begich, the mayor of Anchorage and son of former U.S. Representative Nick Begich. On October 27, 2008, Stevens was convicted on seven charges of ethics violations and corruption. If reelected, Stevens would have been the first convicted felon to be elected to the United States Senate. On November 18, 2008, the Associated Press called the race for Begich, making Stevens the longest-serving U.S. Senator ever to lose a re-election bid. Stevens conceded the race to Begich on November 19. Begich was the only Democrat in 2008 to flip a Senate seat in a state that Barack Obama lost in the concurrent presidential election. With a margin of 1.3%, this election was the second-closest race of the 2008 Senate election cycle, behind only the election in Minnesota. Begich was the first Democrat to be elected to the U.S. Senate in Alaska since Mike Gravel in 1974. The Democrats would not win another statewide election in Alaska until 2022, when Mary Peltola was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives.

O republicano senador Ted Stevens, concorreu a reeleição. Foi uma das dez eleições para o Senado que o senador John Ensign de Nevada previu como uma das mais dusputadas, sendo a do Alasca a mais disputada. As primárias foram realizadas em 26 de agosto. Ted Stevens foi derrotado pelo democrata Mark Begich,prefeito de Anchorage. Em 27 de outubro de 2008, Stevens foi condenado por sete acusações de violações de ética e corrupção. Se reeleito, Stevens teria sido o primeiro condenado foragido eleito do Senado dos Estados Unidos. Em 18 de novembro de 2008, a Associated Press projetou que Begich havia derrotado Stevens, Stevens era mais antigo senador dos Estados Unidos e nunca perdeu uma eleição. Stevens admitiu a derrota para Begich em 19 de novembro. (pt) |
