“Alaskans are looking down the barrel of a long, expensive winter due to Dan Sullivan’s continued support for the price-hiking war in Iran,” said Alaska Democratic Party Chair Eric Croft. “It is completely unconscionable that at a time when Alaskans are being crushed by the price of fuel and diesel, Sullivan has ignored our struggles over and over, repeatedly voting to continue the war that is costing us more every day.”

More than 190 rural communities in Alaska depend on diesel for electricity and heat. For rural Alaskans, the price-hiking war is causing some of the highest diesel prices in the nation. One Alaskan said that with record-high fuel prices squeezing their wallets, the stakes are “immediate” and  “we have no possible way of moving anywhere, besides with our legs […] we wouldn’t be able to go out of town or go hunt caribou and go fish for salmon.”

Dan Sullivan has now voted for the price-hiking war a staggering 13 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, 9/24/26).
