Democrats are getting the news they’d been hoping for out of Alaska, with former US Rep. Mary Peltola launching a Senate campaign on Monday morning. The one-and-a-half-term former congresswoman was elected at-large from the small-population state in a 2022 special election and reelected that fall, before losing in 2024. She had been hotly pursued by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer as Democrats’ best prospect in a state that last elected a Democrat to the Senate in 2008. Peltola will run against Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan, who announced last year he’d seek a third term. Her agenda, she says, is “fish, family and freedom.”Peltola invokes the legacies of longtime Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens and Rep. Don Young, both Republicans, whom she says used to put the state over politics.

Over time, the younger friend may eclipse their older friend’s accomplishments.

In many places, the gains of the ecumenical movement, especially among Protestants, mean that we don’t think that much about Christian unity anymore. At least, we don’t think that much about Christian unity in a traditional sense of denominational divisions. Christian unity isn’t about going along to get along, or denying our conflicts and differences. Maybe the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity should be a week of prayer not just for unity, but to remember what Christian unity means. Christian unity means that we are never satisfied with being divided from each other, and division will never be the last word.
