Episode Details

Alaska’s Lieutenant Governor Nancy Dahlstrom has launched an investigation into a Republican candidate named Daniel James Sullivan Jr., running for U.S. Senate in Petersburg — a move that’s sparked controversy after he shares the same name and party as incumbent Senator Dan Sullivan. Allegations suggest the Petersburg candidate intentionally filed to confuse voters, a claim backed by the National Republican Senatorial Committee and even Senator Sullivan himself. The investigation also uncovered that this Dan Sullivan previously donated small amounts to Democratic rival Mary Peltola’s campaign, adding fuel to the fire. With 16 candidates in the race, the Lieutenant Governor’s office is probing whether this “Sham Candidate” violated election rules — all under penalty of perjury — while both campaigns remain silent on the claims.
