Former Representative Mary Peltola of Alaska, a Democrat, announced on Monday that she was running for the state’s Senate seat, giving Democrats a big boost as they fight an uphill battle to win back the Senate in the midterm elections.

Ms. Peltola, who was Alaska’s sole House member from 2022 until her defeat in 2024, is one of her red state’s few prominent Democrats. She has been considered perhaps the only person who could pose a threat to Senator Dan Sullivan, a Republican who is up for re-election this year.

In her announcement video, Ms. Peltola made clear that she planned to position herself as a political outsider fixated on state and local issues like Alaska’s fishing industry and rising cost of living. She resurrected a slogan she used during her House campaigns — “fish, family and freedom” — and said she would propose term limits for members of Congress.

“It’s not just that politicians in D.C. don’t care that we’re paying $17 a gallon for milk in rural Alaska — they don’t even believe us,” Ms. Peltola said.
