Dan Sullivan, Another Dan Sullivan and an Ex-Congresswoman Face Off in Alaska's US Senate Primary
The race drew national attention as outside groups targeted a 16-candidate field and a ballot mix-up involving another Dan Sullivan raised confusion concerns.
- Incumbent Republican Senator Dan S. Sullivan faces former Democratic Representative Mary Peltola and 14 other candidates in a 16-person nonpartisan top-four open primary for Alaska's U.S. Senate seat.
- Peltola, who previously won Alaska's statewide congressional seat, represents a primary challenge that national Democrats view as a top opportunity to flip a Senate seat.
- The race gained national attention after a retired teacher from Petersburg also named Dan Sullivan entered the primary as a candidate.
- Incumbent Senator Sullivan accused his namesake challenger of being a "sham candidate" intent on confusing voters, though state courts ruled the challenger must remain on the ballot.
- State election officials decided to distinguish the two candidates on the ballot by listing the incumbent as "Sullivan, Dan S." with his incumbent title and the challenger as "Sullivan, Daniel J. Jr.".
