While Alaskans struggle with rising costs thanks to Dan Sullivan’s price-hiking agenda, Sullivan himself has been burning through campaign cash to splurge on five-star vacations and elite DC dinners for himself and the special interest backers who have bankrolled his political career. 

“This report shows what we already know: Dan Sullivan will always put himself and his special interest backers above Alaskans,” said Alaska Democratic Party Chair Eric Croft. “While we’re paying $5 for a gallon of gas, choosing between paying for groceries or health care, and struggling to afford housing, Self-Serving Sullivan has literally been wining and dining Lower 48 special interest donors at luxurious golf resorts and the ritziest DC steakhouses. Alaskans deserve better, and now that the truth is out, they’ll vote Sullivan out this November.”

New reporting documents Sullivan’s spending spree in meticulous detail: five-star “premier luxury” resorts, lavish “ultra-discreet” DC steakhouses “where lobbyists rub shoulders,” and “luxuriant spas” billed to his campaign and leadership PAC, all while Sullivan was slashing Alaskans’ health care, food assistance for veterans, and the Essential Air Service. 

Dan Sullivan’s lavish expenditures, as reported yesterday: 

• $35,000 at the Capital Grille, “home of the $200 bone-in dry-aged ribeye”;

• $20,000 at the French restaurant Bistro Bis;

• $20,000 at Charlie Palmer Steak;

• And $14,000 at the “ultra-discreet” 116 Club, “a Capitol Hill row house where lobbyists rub shoulders with legislators over the city’s (supposed) best crabcakes”;

• $132,000 on multiple stays at the five-star “premier luxury” Kiawah Island Golf Resort, where suites reach more than $2,700 a night;
