Mary Peltola Car Crash Injury

"Mary is disappointed that the accident is delaying the start of her Alaska Always Tour, and she is eager to get back on the campaign trail to speak directly with Alaskans about her plan to take on the rigged system and lower costs for working families," Bruce said.

'Mary and her family sustained minor injuries but are in good spirits,' campaign manager Cheryl Bruce said in the statement.

Peltola, an Alaska Native and former congresswoman, is challenging Republican incumbent senator Dan Sullivan, hoping to become the first Democrat in nearly two decades to represent the state in the Senate.

On Friday, Donald Trump ordered the justice department to block the certification of the Senate election in Alaska if Sullivan loses.
