How do Alaska Natives vote?
Historically strongly Democratic (except Murkowski), very low turnout. I expect Gross and Biden to sweep the (extra)rurals.
Don Young also gets a lot of crossover support from them.
Might be fair to say there is a pro-incumbent streak, which would temper expectations for Gross. I'm not familiar enough with Sullivan's record on native issues to say strongly.
I would suspect that it has more to do with the longevity of Young and the Murkowskis. Senator Lisa Murkowski herself is probably also helped by having a more legitimate claim to being a moderate Republican.
