Alaska Senate Race Name Game | Global News

Alaska’s Senate race is heating up with a name game twist: two Dan J. Sullivans, one incumbent senator and one challenger, both Republicans, sparking chaos and accusations of voter manipulation. The state tried to remove the challenger from the ballot, claiming he wasn’t running in good faith, but the Alaska Supreme Court ruled he must stay — meeting all constitutional requirements. With 16 candidates vying, only the senator and Democrat Mary Peltola are raising funds. Locals are split — some call the disqualification fear-mongering, others praise the challenger’s character. A lieutenant governor’s investigation into alleged campaign coordination with Democrats has added fuel to the fire, though the challenger denies any wrongdoing. Listed without party affiliation, he sees the confusion as an advantage and vows to ramp up his campaign to bring change — and he’s not backing down.
