Decoy Dan and the Alaska Senate Mess | Anchorage News
Description
A new FEC complaint targets Alaska’s little-known Republican Senate candidate Dan J. Sullivan, accusing him of secretly collaborating with a third-party group, the 907 Initiative, which runs ads critical of the incumbent Senator Dan S. Sullivan — a confusing twist given their identical names. The complaint, filed by Americans for Public Trust and dubbing Dan J. Sullivan “Decoy Dan,” claims board member Amber Lee once consulted for his campaign, potentially violating campaign finance rules. But Lee denies wrongdoing, calling the allegations baseless, and the 907 Initiative insists it’s fully compliant. Meanwhile, the FEC is gridlocked — unable to rule on any complaints for over a year — meaning this legal tangle likely won’t impact the race anytime soon.
