Dan Sullivan’s campaign coterie think that the people who voted for Petersburg Dan Sullivan are so stupid that they voted for the wrong Sullivan by mistake. Were it not for all those dumbbells who couldn’t read the ballot, Sullivan would only be about 4,000 votes behind Mary Peltola, instead of 7,000, according to the Sullivan, Dan S. campaign. ## [Feds trying to crush Dan J. Sullivan because he had the gall to challenge Dan S.

Dan Sullivan, are abusing our justice system to intimidate Dan J. Sullivan of Petersburg and violate his civil rights.

With this move, the Republican campaign against ranked choice voting becomes an effort by Musk to buy a voting system in Alaska that meets with his approval. ## [This week](https://marypeltola.substack.com/p/this-week) _2026-08-08 · Mary Peltola · Mary Peltola_ We’re criss-crossing every corner of Alaska, and we’re not slowing down. ## [Dan Sullivan will get a pass for casting deciding vote on Todd Blanche](https://www.dermotcole.com/reportingfromalaska/2026/8/7/dan-sullivan-gets-a-pass-on-todd-blanche) _2026-08-07 · Dermot Cole · Reporting From Alaska_ Alaska news organizations covered the predictable “will she or won’t she” story of Sen. Lisa Murkowski and the confirmation of Todd Blanche. But they failed to even mention the name of Alaska’s junior senator, who is running for reelection and is more important in this debate than Murkowski because Sullivan will cast the deciding vote to make Blanche the attorney general. ## [Representative Louise Stutes Gets Busted](https://sewardsfolly.substack.com/p/representative-louise-stutes-gets) _2026-08-07 · Seward's Folly · Seward's Folly Substack_ Representative Louise Stutes cheated when it came to election financing.

They will reinvent the role of the lieutenant governor. It almost never works out.

It’s bizarre that Sullivan would not address an audience of loyal Republicans—including what Sullivan called an “all-star” list of local co-hosts—about how proud he is to stand with Trump.
