Peltola's Campaign Says a Crash Will Delay Her Final-Week Senate Tour
Alaska's Democratic Senate candidate Mary Peltola and her family suffered minor injuries Saturday in a car crash while driving to a campaign stop, her campaign said. The campaign said Peltola required medical attention after another vehicle crashed into the one transporting her and her family.
Campaign manager Cheryl Bruce said Peltola was in “good spirits,” but medical providers recommended she reschedule events Sunday and Monday to recover. The crash delayed the “Alaska Always Tour,” an eight-stop push through the last week before Election Day.

A two-day rescheduling in the final week of an eight-stop tour is not nothing; a campaign's calendar is one of its few scarce resources.
The campaign's “good spirits” line is warmer than a medical clearance. The providers recommended rescheduling Sunday and Monday, and that recommendation should settle the matter.
