Sullivan Under Fire Over Pebble Mine Promise

New reporting is raising serious questions about Dan Sullivan’s priorities — and whether he’s putting Alaska first.

Despite previously promising to donate campaign contributions tied to the controversial Pebble Mine project, reports show Sullivan kept the money and continues accepting contributions connected to Pebble Mine leadership. When asked directly about the broken promise during a public Q&A, Sullivan abruptly ended the call instead of answering.

For many Alaskans, it’s part of a larger pattern.

As families face rising healthcare, fuel, and grocery costs, Sullivan has continued backing policies that increase costs while avoiding accountability when tough questions arise. Meanwhile, concerns over the future of Bristol Bay and Alaska’s fisheries remain front and center for communities across the state.

With critical elections ahead, Alaska Democrats say this moment underscores the importance of electing leaders focused on transparency, accountability, and putting Alaska families ahead of special interests.

Democrats Delivered Real Progress This Session

This legislative session, Alaska Democrats proved what’s possible when leaders focus on solving problems instead of playing politics.

Democrats helped advance major legislation to strengthen public education, improve healthcare access, restore pensions for public employees and teachers, protect civil rights, and improve public safety across Alaska.

Key wins included efforts to stabilize school funding, restore defined benefit pensions, strengthen the State Commission for Human Rights, expand healthcare workforce access through interstate medical licensing compacts, and pass a sweeping public safety package focused on protecting Alaska communities.

These victories didn’t happen by accident. They happened because Democrats organized, built coalitions, and stayed focused on delivering real results for Alaska families.

There’s still more work ahead — but this session showed that when Democrats lead, progress is possible.

Alaskans Deserve Accountability From Dan Sullivan

Alaskans deserve leaders who are focused on lowering costs and fighting for our communities — not enriching themselves while families struggle to get by.

But new reporting on Dan Sullivan’s stock trading raises serious questions about whose side he’s really on.

Reports revealed Sullivan disclosed up to $2 million in stock trades while serving in the U.S. Senate, all while his personal portfolio dramatically outperformed the market. At the same time, he reportedly violated federal transparency law by failing to properly disclose trades involving Mowi, the world’s largest farmed salmon company, and a direct competitor to Alaska’s fisheries.

That matters in a state where fishing isn’t just an industry — it’s a way of life.

While Sullivan was growing his personal wealth, Alaska families were dealing with rising healthcare costs, higher fuel prices, and growing economic uncertainty. Instead of fighting to lower costs, Sullivan repeatedly backed policies that made life more expensive for working Alaskans.

Alaskans are paying attention.

People want leaders who will put Alaska first — not politicians who seem more focused on their stock portfolio than the people they were elected to serve.
