New enough (5x on 10 June 2020‎), long enough (2,300 b), neutral, cites sources, appears free of plagiarism. Hook is interesting, cited, and short enough. QPQ present. No image.

Consider the shorter: ALT1: ... that Nick Begich won reelection to the House of Representatives despite having gone missing the previous month?
