As thousands of Alaskans drive to Palmer for the Alaska State Fair this week, they can expect to pay nearly $5 a gallon to fill up their gas tanks due to Dan Sullivan’s price-hiking agenda. 

“While Alaskans are enjoying the state fair this week, they’ll have less money to spend on spinach bread, pork chops, or fried peaches due to Dan Sullivan squeezing their wallets,” said Alaska Democratic Party Chair Eric Croft. “Sullivan has provided no relief amid this crisis he created, and his ongoing support for the war makes it clear he has no problem leaving Alaskans to foot the bill.”

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.
