Summary
Another Dan Sullivan is jumping into Alaska’s U.S. Senate race, challenging incumbent Dan Sullivan—nicknamed “Ohio Dan”—with a campaign that’s already stoking controversy. This new candidate, Dan J. Sullivan from Petersburg, a former teacher and Forest Service employee, is painting the incumbent as out of touch with everyday Alaskans. The Republican Party calls the move a “trick,” blaming Democrat Mary Peltola’s team for trying to confuse voters. But the campaign’s funding trail is murky—no official committee registered under his name, despite a paid statement from “Sullivan for Alaska.” The incumbent’s team won’t comment, while Peltola’s campaign denies involvement, though a past strategist linked to her is tied to the press release. Alaska’s election law has a workaround: if two Sullivans make the ballot, they’ll be distinguished by middle initials. A wild, confusing, and uniquely Alaskan race is unfolding.
