ANCHORAGE — U.S. Rep. Don Young has won a 21st term in Congress, which could allow him to become Alaska’s longest-serving member of Congress, edging the late Ted Stevens.

Young on Tuesday handily defeated Democrat Sharon Cissna, who struggled to gain traction or campaign money in the race.

“I always try to run a positive campaign, always have,” he said Monday shortly after casting an early vote in Anchorage. “I don’t mention my opponents and just try to do the things right for the state of Alaska. It’s all up to Alaskans.”

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Emergency sirens sounded around Hawaii late Saturday warning about an oncoming tsunami, after a powerful earthquake struck off the coast of Canada.

ANCHORAGE — U.S. Rep. Don Young easily won his Republican primary Tuesday.

Young, who is seeking his 21st term as Alaska’s sole U.S. House member, was leading with 78 percent of the vote with 33 percent of the vote counted and wasn’t challenged by lesser-known Republicans John R. Cox and Terre Gales.

Young, as usual, spent election night at his home in remote Fort Yukon.

However, he said in statement that he was “both humbled and honored by the overwhelming level of support shown by Alaskans tonight.”

ANCHORAGE — Three Pacific walruses separated from their mothers are under care at an Alaska aquarium.

The three males are believed to be from the same group of walruses that floated on ice past Barrow, the nation’s northernmost city on Alaska’s northern coast, on July 17.

The first abandoned calf was found stranded in a Barrow lagoon late last week. It was flown on a commercial flight to the Alaska SeaLife Center in Seward.

The other two calves were found Monday near Barrow, malnourished and in need of veterinary care.
