Alaska judge clears namesake challenger to run in U.S. Senate primary
TL;DR Summary
A Superior Court judge in Alaska ruled that Dan J. Sullivan, a namesake Republican challenger to U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan, may appear on the Aug. 18 GOP primary ballot, overturning an earlier disqualification for 'not in good faith.' The ruling can be appealed to the state Supreme Court, and with Tuesday's deadline for a final ruling to allow ballot printing, the decision has immediate practical implications in the high-stakes race against Democrat Mary Peltola.
