Senator-elect Mark Begich, the mayor of Anchorage, told The New York Times that he opposes amending the Constitution to ban marriage for gay and lesbian couples. Begich also said he supports allowing same-sex couples to receive “benefits through their partners.” He is the first Alaska Democrat to win in seat in the Senate for more than three decades.
