With 100 Days Until Election, Dan Sullivan’s Indefensible Record is in the Spotlight

With today marking 100 days until the election for the U.S. Senate in Alaska, Dan Sullivan has 100 more days of Alaskans learning about his indefensible, self-serving record. 

“Dan Sullivan has spent years putting himself first and Alaska last – lining his own pockets while his price-hiking agenda harms Alaskans,” said Alaska Democratic Party Chair Eric Croft. “From tripling his wealth while in the U.S. Senate, to enjoying DC fine dining and a lavish lifestyle on the donor dime, to his steadfast loyalty to special interests at the expense of Alaskans – Sullivan has only ever focused on enriching himself. Self-Serving Sullivan has put Alaska last every day in DC, and he will answer for his indefensible record at the ballot box in 100 days.”





  • Sullivan has slashed federal funding for law enforcement and response systems that keep Alaskans safe. After Typhoon Halong devastated Western Alaska, Sullivan failed to secure full federal recovery funding Alaska desperately needs to rebuild our communities, and voted to defund local radio stations and emergency alert systems that rural Alaskans rely on for life-saving storm warnings. Sullivan also voted against $200 million in funding for the Alaska maritime  industry and the Coast Guard, as well as $12 million in funding for Alaska law enforcement.


  • In DC, Sullivan has prioritized the interests of the multibillion-dollar chemical company he owns stock in. Self-Serving Sullivan has “repeatedly voted to advance the interests” of the multi-billion dollar chemical company – RPM International – in which Sullivan himself holds up to $5 million in stock. This includes voting to “block[] an amendment that would have allowed the EPA to crack down on cancer-causing pollutants and substances.” Dan Sullivan has continued to profit from his investment even as RPM International allegedly defrauded the government.


  • Sullivan has been living large on his donors’ dime and voted for tax handouts for billionaires. Sullivan spent hundreds of thousands of donor dollars on five-star resorts, an “oasis” with “luxuriant spas,” and elite DC restaurant dinners – then voted for tax breaks for billionaires and hiked prices for Alaskans already struggling to make ends meet. Reporting detailed how Sullivan “splurged” from his campaign account to bankroll a lifestyle of luxury, including $132,000 at the five-star “premier luxury” Kiawah Island Golf Resort and $35,000 at the Capital Grille, “home of the $200 bone-in dry-aged ribeye.”


  • Sullivan has repeatedly refused to meet with Alaskans and answer their questions. Last month, Sullivan was a no-show to a meet-and-greet in Kodiak where Alaskans wanted his stance on a slush fund that that would give him a special payout funded by taxpayers, and in April he abruptly ran off of a live Q&A after being asked questions about his broken promise to return Pebble Mine-tied donations.
