As the general election in Alaska’s Senate race kicks off, Sen. Dan Sullivan’s record of corruption, self-dealing, and putting Alaskans last is on full display. 

Dan Sullivan’s approval rating has sunk to an abysmal 37% – the fifth-least popular U.S. senator in the country – as he has repeatedly voted to make life harder and more expensive for Alaskans. From spiking the cost of gas to record highs, to slashing Medicaid funding and federal funding for emergency alert services that keep Alaskans safe, to backing the tariffs that have sent grocery costs soaring and crushed small businesses, Sullivan has hurt Alaska families in every corner of the state. Here’s why Alaskans will make Dan Sullivan answer for his indefensible record at the ballot box in November:

SULLIVAN IS A SELF-DEALING, SELF-SERVING DC POLITICIAN

Dan Sullivan has tripled his personal wealth while serving in the U.S. Senate – reporting up to $2 million in stock trades and outperforming the stock market by about double, all while Alaskans are being crushed by the cost of living crisis Sullivan created. Alaska is uniquely vulnerable to the pain of higher costs,  with groceries 20% more expensive than the rest of the country and fuel hitting $10 a gallon in some rural parts of the state. 

Dan Sullivan owns up to $5 million in RPM International, his family’s multi-billion dollar multinational chemical company that, – RPM – and Sullivan has voted to advance RPM’s interests in the Senate time and time again, personally earning him hundreds of thousands of dollars. Since 2015, Sullivan has earned up to $550,000 from his holdings. in the multibillion dollar chemical company, RPM, Sullivan has “repeatedly voted to advance the interests” of RPM, which has also continued to rake in millions of dollars in government contracts during his tenure in the United States Senate despite settling with the Department of Justice for “allegedly defrauding the federal government.”

In addition to voting to advance the interests of his largest investment, Sullivan was also caught breaking ethics and transparency laws when he failed to disclose stock trades in Mowi, the world’s largest farmed salmon company, a direct competitor to Alaska’s fishing industry. 

SULLIVAN IS IN THE POCKET OF SPECIAL INTERESTS

Dan Sullivan has spent more than a decade forming cozy relationships with special interests who cut checks to his campaign after he did their bidding in the U.S. Senate.

Sullivan took hundreds of thousands from donors connected to the trawling industry while Southwest Alaska fisheries are facing “growing challenges” – and he’s repeatedly been in lockstep with his Lower 48 trawl donors, including his second largest donor Trident Seafoods, who was fined millions of dollars after repeatedly engaging in practices that harmed Alaska’s sea life. Sullivan also broke his promise to return campaign contributions from the CEO of Pebble Mine, a project that would devastate the world’s largest sockeye salmon fishery in Bristol Bay and harm Alaska’s economy, while continuing to rake in campaign cash from Pebble executives.

Sullivan also raked in campaign cash from Big Pharma and the health insurance lobby, then voted to slash Medicaid and kick thousands of Alaskans off their healthcare, jack up monthly premiums for tens of thousands more, and put Alaska rural hospitals at risk of closure, with two clinics already being forced to close. And despite calls from survivors for transparency and accountability, Sullivan voted against releasing the Epstein files – then took almost $10,000 in campaign cash from Jeffrey Epstein associates, including a donor who “appeared in Epstein’s ‘little black book’ of key social and business contacts that Epstein considered important enough to save.”

That special interest cash has allowed multimillionaire Sullivan to live the good life. Sullivan spent hundreds of thousands of donor dollars on five-star resorts, an “oasis” with “luxuriant spas,” and elite DC restaurants known for $200 steaks – then voted for tax breaks for billionaires and hiked prices for Alaskans already struggling to make ends meet. 

MULTIMILLIONAIRE SULLIVAN HAS SPIKED COSTS FOR ALASKANS

Dan Sullivan has repeatedly voted to raise costs on Alaskans – saddling them with skyrocketing grocery, gas, and healthcare bills while he increases his personal wealth in the U.S. Senate. 

Sullivan’s agenda has made gas and groceries unaffordable for Alaska families. He voted twelve times for the price-hiking war in Iran, leading to skyrocketing gas prices for Alaskans and driving up prices of shipping, goods and airfare in tow. He also supports the reckless tariffs that are sending the cost of goods and groceries skyrocketing, despite Alaska being “uniquely vulnerable” to tariff-driven price increases. To add insult to injury: Sullivan sent a fundraising email begging Alaskans to help him “pay for gas.”

Despite one-third of Alaskans being on Medicaid, Sullivan slashed healthcare and Medicaid funding, spiking premiums for 27,000 Alaskans while 10,000 fewer Alaskans are on Medicaid. Sullivan also oversaw devastating federal funding cuts that have jeopardized Alaska jobs and put Alaskans’ safety at risk. He voted to slash federal funding for emergency alert systems and rural radio that help Alaskans stay safe from storms, and as a member of the Senate DOGE caucus, backed DOGE cuts that gutted the federal workforce in Alaska that supported commercial fishing, subsistence management and public safety jobs.

SULLIVAN PUTS ALASKA LAST

Dan Sullivan refuses to answer for his votes that have harmed Alaskans. He has skipped scheduled events where constituents can get answers, and even refused to meet with an SEIU Alaskan caregiver who traveled to DC three separate times to ask him about his cuts to Medicaid. 

Sullivan is exactly the kind of corrupt, self-serving politician Alaskans are fed up with – and this November, they’ll make Sullivan answer for his disastrous agenda when they retire him and send Mary Peltola to the U.S. Senate to fight for fish, family, and freedom.
