A damning new report exposed Self-Serving Dan 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.
Daily Beast reports that 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.” While Sullivan might be helping himself to a steak dinner on a lobbyist’s dime, Alaskans are paying more than $4 a gallon for gas and stretching their paychecks even further to pay for the skyrocketing cost of groceries, health care, and housing as a direct result of Sullivan’s votes.

Alaska has long been a red state, but the Senate race this year has been gaining fresh attention as the map becomes increasingly competitive.
-
On the Republican side, the Senate Leadership Fund plans to spend $15 million to help keep the Alaska seat in Sen. Dan Sullivan’s GOP hands. That’s a load of loot, but Sullivan’s a big spender, FEC filings show.
-
Since re-election in 2020, he’s splurged through:
-
$35,000 at the Capital Grille, home of the $200 bone-in dry-aged ribeye;
-
$20,000 at the now-shuttered French restaurant Bistro Bis;
-
$20,000 at Charlie Palmer Steak, also now defunct;
-
And $14,000 at the ultra-discreet 116 Club, a Capitol Hill row house where lobbyists rub shoulders with legislators over the city’s (supposed) best crabcakes.
-
Joe’s Seafood also makes the list, along with Bistro Cacao, a restaurant “known for romance.”
-
It’s not just D.C. where the corporate card took a battering. There was $132,000 on multiple stays at the five-star “premier luxury” Kiawah Island Golf Resort right off the beach in South Carolina. Rooms among the “world class amenities” start at $800 and suites reach more than $2,700 a night.
-
Sullivan’s Truth North PAC also spent more than $100,000 at the very-much-not-in-the-true-
north La Quinta Resort and Club in La Quinta, southern California, a “desert oasis” with golf and luxuriant spas. -
