Ex- Anchorage mayor backs Sen. Sullivan in tangled Alaska Senate race

Former Anchorage Mayor Dan Sullivan endorsed incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan in Alaska's unusually crowded Senate race, intensifying a clash with a third candidate named Dan J. Sullivan who Republicans say is a Democratic plant to confuse voters. Alaska's top-four jungle primary and ranked-choice voting system add complexity to the contest, while legal fights and investigations swirl around the same-name challenger as Dan S. Sullivan and Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola move toward the general election.

Alaska Senate race tangled by two Dan Sullivans and a high-stakes endorsement

Alaska’s Senate race has become unusually tangled as incumbent Dan S. Sullivan faces a rival Dan J. Sullivan and a Mary Peltola bid, with former Anchorage mayor Dan A. Sullivan endorsing the incumbent; under ranked-choice voting, Peltola leads Dan S. Sullivan 48% to 43% as Dan J. Sullivan sits around 2.4%, while prosecutors explore possible ballot-confusion schemes and the Alaska Supreme Court allowed Dan J. Sullivan to stay on the ballot. The race is considered a tossup by analysts.

Alaska's Senate race grapples with name-confusion as two Sullivans appear on the ballot

Alaska’s U.S. Senate race is facing a name-confusion issue as incumbent Republican Dan Sullivan competes with independent Dan J. Sullivan Jr., a candidate whose identical name could split GOP support under November’s ranked-choice voting. Early results show Sullivan Jr. drawing about 2.3% of Republican votes, prompting concerns about voter confusion and a push to educate electors, while Mary Peltola led the jungle primary. Analysts note past incidents of similar-name confusion and warn that voters may not rank both Sullivans, which could affect the general election regardless of who wins the GOP nomination.

Peltola attendance record sparks scrutiny in Alaska Senate race

Democratic Senate hopeful Mary Peltola is drawing scrutiny for missing hundreds of votes across offices: 794 of 4,265 Alaska House votes (18.6%) during 1999–2009 and 22 of 60 Bethel City Council meetings (36.7%) (2011–2013), plus a 17.2% miss rate in Congress (235 of 1,370 roll-call votes) from 2022–2024. Her campaign attributes absences to maternity leave and fishing-season commitments, while critics argue the record raises questions about public-service dedication as she contends with Dan Sullivan in the Alaska race ahead of the general election.

Alaska primary offers glimmer for Democrats’ Senate path

With about 80% of ballots counted, Democrat Mary Peltola leads Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan 48.1% to 42.7% in Alaska’s all‑party primary, a result Democrats will tout as a favorable sign for their Senate math. But primary outcomes aren’t predictive, and the remaining votes (including many advance ballots) could shift the top four and future rankings under ranked‑choice voting. Still, Alaska’s result provides encouragement for Democrats ahead of November, though nothing is decided yet.

Alaska Governor Race Shifts: Democrats Lead as Wilson and Bronson Advance
