How it's decidedAlaska's general election uses ranked-choice voting among the four candidates who advanced from the August top-four primary: if no one wins a majority of first choices, the last-place candidate is dropped and those ballots count for their next choice, round by round, until one candidate has a majority.3

We looked for Gerald L. Heikes's campaign website and public statements on October 27, 2026, the same way for everyone in this race, and found none. That doesn't mean they have no views. Know of a source? Tell us.

§2Money

Why this matters: Campaigns report where their money comes from and how much they have left. Outside groups that spend on their own, without coordinating with the campaign, report that too.

Outside spending

Groups spending independently reported $2,416,675 supporting and $0 opposing Gerald L. Heikes this cycle, primary and general combined, in the 24- and 48-hour reports the law requires for larger expenditures, filed through October 26, 2026.4

Smaller expenditures that appear only on a group's regular monthly or quarterly report aren't in these totals, so the full amounts can be somewhat higher. When a group amends a report, only its latest version is counted.

§3Financial disclosures

Why this matters: Federal candidates and members of Congress must report their assets, income, debts and outside jobs, and members must report stock trades. These filings show possible conflicts of interest.

Senate candidates and senators file with the Senate's own disclosure system, which asks each visitor to agree to its terms before searching, so we can't link straight to a filing. You can search for Gerald L. Heikes at efdsearch.senate.gov5.
