Sullivan, a little-known challenger with the same name as incumbent Senator Dan S. Sullivan, refuses to exit despite barely squeaking into the general election with 2.5% of the primary vote. The Alaska Supreme Court blocked efforts to remove him from the ballot, fueling accusations from the incumbent that his campaign is a confusing stunt. But early data shows most of Dan’s support came from traditionally Democratic areas — suggesting voters might not be fooled after all. He’s railing against the Senator’s foreign policy and Alaska’s poor rankings in child well-being and business climate, arguing current politics divide rather than solve problems. With ranked-choice voting in play — where the top four candidates advance and votes are redistributed — the race is shaping up to be anything but predictable, as Gerald Heikes, who got just 1.1%, now joins the fray thanks to a drop-out.
