As the Senate debates a nearly two billion-dollar slush fund that could direct taxpayer money to Dan Sullivan and just seven other U.S. Senators, Sullivan is staying silent instead of calling out the blatant corruption of politicians earmarking taxpayer funds for their own self-enrichment.

Sullivan previously voted for a slush fund which could have given him a personal payout of $500,000 in taxpayer money. 

“Self-Serving Sullivan voted to write himself a $500,000 check with taxpayer funds, taking self-dealing to new levels – and he’s ready to do it again,” said Alaska Democratic Party Chair Eric Croft. “Alaska voters will not stand for a senator who literally lines his own pockets with taxpayer money while raising our gas prices, and they won’t forget this in November.”

While voting to pay himself with Alaska taxpayer money, Sullivan was simultaneously voting to raise costs and cut services for Alaskans — spiking healthcare costs, slashing food assistance for veterans, and repeatedly backing the war driving gas prices up. 

Sullivan has a track record of enriching himself in office: he’s reported up to $2 million in stock trades and ballooned his personal wealth while serving in the U.S. Senate.
