Alaska Supreme Court Lets Challenger Run | Anchorage News

Alaska’s top court clears a controversial Senate challenger, Dan J. Sullivan, to appear on the August 18 primary ballot—just hours after oral arguments, reversing a state election ruling that accused him of running in bad faith to split the vote. The 70-year-old retired teacher insists he’s running out of frustration with the incumbent’s record, not party strategy. With the Senate race seen as a pivotal battleground, the decision has drawn national attention—and even briefs from other states backing the state’s original stance. The court now sends the case back to election officials to determine exactly how his name appears on ballots, while the challenger is officially cleared to run.
