华盛顿电——阿拉斯加州民主党参议院候选人玛丽·佩尔托拉在一起车祸中受“轻伤”，其竞选团队周日表示。
“玛丽及其家人受了轻伤，但精神状态良好，”佩尔托拉的竞选经理谢丽尔·布鲁斯在一份声明中说。
佩尔托拉的竞选团队称，当时佩尔托拉与家人正前往阿拉斯加原住民联合会年度宴会，乘坐的车辆被另一名司机撞上，造成需要就医的伤情。
布鲁斯表示，应医务人员的建议，佩尔托拉“在恢复期间”将调整竞选活动安排。
“玛丽对此次事故导致她的‘阿拉斯加始终’竞选之旅启动推迟感到失望，她迫切希望重返竞选活动，直接与阿拉斯加民众交流自己打破僵化体系、降低工薪家庭生活成本的计划，”布鲁斯说。
竞选团队表示，佩尔托拉周日和周一的活动将在未来几天内重新安排。
现年53岁的佩尔托拉正争取击败共和党籍参议员丹·沙利文，成为2008年以来首位当选联邦参议员的民主党人。此前4年，她曾成为50年来首位代表该州担任联邦众议员的民主党人。在阿拉斯加州的排名选择选举制度下，她在八月的四位数初选中得票最高，将进入与沙利文及另外两名候选人的大选对决。

Washington — Alaska Democratic Senate candidate Mary Peltola sustained “minor injuries” in a car accident, her campaign said Sunday.
“Mary and her family sustained minor injuries but are in good spirits,” Peltola’s campaign manager, Cheryl Bruce, said in a statement.
Peltola and her family were on their way to the Alaska Federation of Natives Annual Banquet when the vehicle transporting them was struck by another driver, her campaign said, causing injuries that required medical attention.
Bruce said at the advice of medical professionals, Peltola was rescheduling campaign events “as she takes time to recover.”
“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.
Peltola’s events on Sunday and Monday would be rescheduled in the coming days, the campaign said.
Peltola, 53, is vying to unseat GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan to become the first Democrat elected to the Senate since 2008, four years after she became the first Democrat to represent the state in the House in 50 years . She was the top vote-getter in the August top-four primary, setting up the general election contest against Sullivan and two other candidates under Alaska’s ranked-choice election system.
