Republican with same name as incumbent Dan Sullivan advances from Alaska US Senate primary
Dan J. Sullivan’s ballot fight ends as he joins an Alaska ranked-choice Senate race that could help decide control of the chamber.
- Retired teacher Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. successfully advanced from Alaska's top-four nonpartisan primary to the general election, alongside Republican incumbent U.S. Senator Dan S. Sullivan.
- The incumbent's campaign and Republican allies had previously tried to block the challenger from the ballot, accusing him of being a "sham candidate" brought in to confuse voters.
- The Alaska Supreme Court ultimately ruled in favor of Daniel J. Sullivan Jr., allowing his name to remain on the primary and general election ballots.
- To minimize voter confusion, state election officials listed the incumbent on ballots with his full title and registration while designating the challenger as "Sullivan, Daniel J. Jr."
- Both Sullivans will move on to the November ranked-choice general election, joining leading Democratic candidate and former U.S. Representative Mary Peltola.
