State of Alaska opens investigation into second Dan Sullivan’s U.S. Senate run
The state of Alaska has opened an investigation into whether Dan J. Sullivan, of Petersburg, is intentionally running for U.S. Senate to confuse voters. The challenger has the same name and party affiliation as Alaska’s junior senator, Dan S. Sullivan, who is up for reelection this year.
Petersburg assembly takes another step toward putting sales tax cap question on ballot
“We are so grossly far below either communities that don't have one or have a much higher one, even if the voters do approve this, it'll be three times lower at minimum in Juneau," said Vice Mayor Jeigh Stanton Gregor. "So, I’ll be voting yes to put this on the ballot.”
It’s no joke: A second Dan Sullivan says he really does want to be Alaska’s next senator
A political unknown from Petersburg filed for Alaska’s U.S. Senate race last week. His name is Dan Sullivan, the same name as Alaska’s sitting junior senator. And they’ll both be on the same ballot for Alaska’s primary in August.
