Alaska Sen. Sullivan Faces Challenges
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) – Republican U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan is running for reelection in Alaska and faces a field of 15 competitors. One of them is Dan Sullivan.
VERBATIM:
The senator told reporters in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday that he thinks the appearance ON the state’s primary ballot of another Republican with the same name is a dirty political trick coordinated by Democrats and the campaign of his chief rival for the seat, former Democratic U.S. Rep. Mary Peltola. He threatened a lawsuit to get to the bottom of it.
Harry Child, a spokesman for the Peltola campaign, said it “has no involvement with either Sullivan campaign.” Jenny-Marie Stryker, executive director of the Alaska Democratic Party, said her organization “is in no way affiliated with either Dan Sullivan.”
