Politics Approaches the Ludicrous Asymptote: Dan Sullivan Endorses Dan Sullivan Over Dan Sullivan in AK Senate Race
2026-08-24
[Townhall] In a stunning move, former Anchorage mayor Dan A. Sullivan has endorsed Republican incumbent Dan S. Sullivan over phony Republican challenger Dan J. Sullivan in the most convoluted election in living memory.

“As the OG Dan Sullivan, I urge Alaskans to vote for Sen. Daniel S. Sullivan,” Dan A. Sullivan said in a Facebook post. “He’s been great for Alaska.”

The battle of the Sullivans in Alaska began when Dan J. Sullivan launched a bid to challenge Republican incumbent Dan S. Sullivan. What could initially be chalked up to a run-of-the-mill oddity in politics was quickly revealed as a nefarious scheme by Democrats after metadata proved that Dan J. Sullivan’s candidacy was aided by a consultant heavily tied to Alaska Democrat Senate candidate Mary Peltola.

The situation became more blatant after elections officials revealed that Dan J. Sullivan requested that he be listed on the ballot as “Dan S. Sullivan,” the forgoing his actual middle initial to adopt that of the Republican incumbent’s. Alaskan officials also showed that Dan J. Sullivan had not affiliated as a Republican until moments before he decided to run for office with their party.

Elections officials ruled that Dan J. Sullivan had clearly used his candidacy as a means of confusing voters to siphon away from the Republican incumbent, and declared that he was not eligible to appear on the ballot. His spoiler candidacy was only saved by the Alaskan Supreme Court.

Now, with the Alaskan primary over, Dan J. Sullivan has made it to the second round of voting. Republicans are left scrambling to distribute information quickly about the false Sullivan so that voters are informed about the scam.

The Chuck Schumer and Peltola-backed scheme to rob Sen. Sullivan of his seat will face its final test during the midterm elections in November.
