This week, despite Alaskans paying up to $26 for gas in some parts of the state, new reporting from the Alaska Beacon reveals that “Dan Sullivan said America’s war with Iran is worth the resulting increased cost of fuel and food for Americans.”

“Dan Sullivan would rather fund endless wars in the Middle East with Alaskans’ taxpayer dollars than take action to lower costs,” said Alaska Democratic Party Chair Eric Croft. “His support for this price-hiking war is completely unconscionable at a time when Alaskans are being forced to choose between heating their homes or putting food on the table, and he’ll be held accountable at the ballot box this November.”

Fuel prices have risen in Alaska since the war began, with heating fuel prices in rural Alaska climbing to an average of $8 per gallon by August, up from $6.49 per gallon in January.

Dan Sullivan has now voted for the price-hiking war a staggering 14 times (3/4/26, 3/18/26, 3/24/26, 4/15/26, 4/22/26, 4/30/26, 5/13/26, 5/19/26, 6/16/26, 6/23/26, 6/24/26, 7/23/26, 7/30/26, 9/24/26). 

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, instead of taking action to lower costs, Sullivan has sent fundraising emails begging Alaskans for gas money.
