Alaska’s Dan Sullivan Faces Ballot Battle | Anchorage News
Description
In Alaska’s wild political race, a teacher-turned-challenger named Dan J. Sullivan is fighting to stay on the ballot against GOP establishment claims he’s a sham candidate working with Democrats. Despite the state’s initial attempt to disqualify him — citing lack of good faith — the Alaska Supreme Court ruled he must remain. With the state’s open primary system and his name giving him a recognition edge over 13 lesser-known rivals, locals rally behind him as “Mr. Sullivan,” calling the disqualification fear-mongering. He’s pushing for change, frustrated with the incumbent’s disconnect from Alaskans and concerned about economic policies, insisting he has every right to run — even if he’s technically an independent.
