Broken promises, special interest cash, lavish spending, and stock trading scandals — all while Alaskans foot the bill for Sullivan’s price-hiking agenda
This month, as Alaskans suffered skyrocketing costs thanks to Self-Serving Sullivan’s price-hiking agenda, a cascade of damning reporting laid bare what Dan Sullivan has been doing in DC: burning donor dollars on luxury vacations and lavish DC dinners, pocketing special interest campaign money he promised to give away, and quietly enriching himself through stock trades in industries he oversees — all while voting to raise costs for Alaskans.
“While Alaskans are suffering the consequences of Self-Serving Sullivan’s price-hiking agenda, he’s living large on donor cash, self-dealing with special interests, and trading stocks to grow his millions,” said Alaska Democratic Party Chair Eric Croft. “The Pebble Mine-tied cash, the luxury spending, the stock trades — every headline tells the same story: Dan Sullivan is selling out Alaskans to benefit himself.”
This month alone, reporting exposed that Dan Sullivan:
“Splurged” through hundreds of thousands of donor dollars on “premier luxury” Lower 48 vacations and ritzy DC dinners for himself and his special interest backers.
Broke his promise to Alaskans to donate Pebble Mine-tied campaign contributions. Not only did Sullivan never donate the special interest money, but reporting exposed that he has continued raking in campaign contributions from the current Pebble CEO, even as a looming federal decision on the project could irreversibly harm Bristol Bay fishermen, families, and one of Alaska’s most vital economic engines.
Ran away from Alaskans when confronted about his broken Pebble Mine promise. After being asked why he broke his Pebble Mine promise during a live Q&A, Sullivan ran away and abruptly cut his live feed. He’s also refused to answer reporter questions about the scandal, denying Alaskans the answers they deserve about his shady special interest dealings.
Reported up to $2 million in stock trades and ballooned his personal wealth while serving in the U.S. Senate and slashing services Alaskans rely on. Reporting revealed Sullivan’s stock portfolio – including stocks in industries overseen by committees he sits on – outperformed the market by double. Self-Serving Sullivan, the only member of Alaska’s congressional delegation to trade stocks at all during his tenure, has repeatedly refused to support anti-corruption reforms.
