Alaska’s Dan J. Sullivan Faces Ballot Battle | Anchorage News

About this episode

In Alaska’s wild Senate race, a challenger named Dan J. Sullivan is fighting to stay on the ballot after being accused by Democrats of being a fake candidate designed to confuse voters — accusations that courts rejected. Despite his website resembling the incumbent’s and past ties to Democratic consultants, a judge and the Alaska Supreme Court ruled he meets constitutional requirements. Locals in his hometown of Petersburg rally behind him, calling the state’s attempts to block him fear-mongering. Now, Dan J. Sullivan is turning the spotlight into momentum, fundraising and planning to campaign across the state — leveraging his name recognition against 13 lesser-known rivals. He’s running on a promise of change, frustrated with the incumbent’s policies and lack of responsiveness. Grassroots voters like Grace Wolf are warming to his message, seeing him as a relatable, locally grounded alternative — party lines be damned.
