Alaska's freshman congressman, Nick Begich, has topped the fundraising charts for the race for the state's congressional seat, raising over $1 million in the first quarter. Independent political newcomer Bill Hill came in second with about $780,000 raised. Meanwhile, Anchorage pastor Matt Schultz raised $580,000, a little over half of Begich's total. In the senate race, incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan trails his opponent Mary Peltola by over four times the amount raised.
