Over Labor Day Weekend, Alaskans were being squeezed by record-high prices on fuel at the gas pump thanks to the Sullivan-supported war in Iran, with new reporting saying it has never been more expensive to “fill up the tank and take one last summer trip over the Labor Day weekend.” Following the weekend, AAA reports that this week diesel prices hit the highest ever recorded average in Alaska.

“Alaskans should have been focused on celebrating with their loved ones this Labor Day, but Dan Sullivan’s affordability crisis is making it harder for families to put gas in their cars,” said Alaska Democratic Party Chair Eric Croft. “Sullivan only cares about his own self-interest, and Alaskans are paying the price.”

Dan Sullivan has now voted for the price-hiking war a staggering 12 times (3/4/26, 3/18/26, 3/24/26, 4/15/26, 4/22/26, 5/13/26, 5/19/26, 6/16/26, 6/23/26, 6/24/26, 7/23/26, 7/30/26).

MS NOW reported that “Sullivan’s patience with high gas prices is notably different from his indignation four years ago” when he repeatedly railed on social media and the Senate floor against Alaska gas prices breaking $5 a gallon. Now, after Dan Sullivan’s continued support for the war in Iran that has sent Alaska gas prices to new record highs, Sullivan has not commented on the issue or its effects on Alaskans since March – though he has sent fundraising emails begging for gas money.
