Sullivan claims Peltola is ‘still lying’ about campaign’s involvement in Alaska ballot controversy
Sullivan cites a New York Times report and says text messages show Peltola staffers tried to recruit a second Dan Sullivan to split votes.
- On Sunday, Senator Dan Sullivan accused Mary Peltola of lying about her campaign's involvement in recruiting a second Dan Sullivan onto the ballot for Tuesday's election.
- A The New York Times report alleged that Peltola staffers, including Chief of Staff Anton McParland, spent months recruiting the second candidate, citing text messages detailing the scheme.
- Sullivan argued the "rigged and corrupt" scheme involving DCCC top officials could not have persisted for a year without Peltola's knowledge, calling her denials a "complete fabrication."
- Former campaign manager Elisa Rios initially claimed Peltola knew about the plot before attempting to retract her comments, complicating the GOP senator's accusations of dishonesty.
- Alaskans will see both candidates on the ballot when they head to polls Tuesday, as the controversy dominates the final days of the congressional race.
