Alaska man Dan Sullivan announced his bid for US Senate on Friday, running as a Republican to capture the seat currently held by US Senator Dan Sullivan, KTUU reports and the previous words in this sentence are obviously a problem for the already endangered incumbent who faces a very strong actual challenger in Democratic former Congresswoman Mary Peltola’s bid to unseat him.
Not-Senator Sullivan’s campaign website is more polished than you would think, complete with a glossy headshot that seems more than a little mismatched given the guy’s obvious decades of hard living. It’s not clear how much mileage there is in between this very obvious sandbagging and Peltola/establishment Dems nor what the state’s Republican leadership can do about it other than – per KTUU – add each Dan Sullivan’s middle initial to the ballot as Alaska law demands. Now-Washington Governor Bob Ferguson pretty quickly nixed the two assholes with the same name who tried to run against him two years ago, but he was the sitting state Attorney General at the time.
