Whatever you think of this matter, the fact that Petersburg Dan originally requested to be listed on the ballot as "Dan *S* Sullivan" is... not great for him.

Here’s the letter from the @ak_elections disqualifying Decoy Dan Sullivan from challenging @SenDanSullivan. Decoy Dan could decide to take the matter to the courts. #akleg

Potential solution to the “fake” Dan Sullivan controversy below:
@ak_elections could amend the ballot to put “incumbent” after Sen. Sullivan’s name and “non-incumbent” after Petersburg Dan’s.
If Petersburg Dan is (as he claims) genuinely running to present an actual alternative, how could he complain?
If his whole candidacy is *not* just a dirty trick, how could *anyone* complain about giving voters info to prevent confusion?
Also, the precedent is established in that the Divisions already lists this info for official candidate filings anyways👇

The Dan Sullivan from Southeast Alaska who hopes to unseat the U.S. senator of the same name said in an interview that he’s a legitimate Republican candidate who’s not trying to trick voters. adn.com/politics/2026/06/08/…

As @Downing907 points out, @mattclaman was obviously just testing the waters before coming back to run for governor 900 years from now.

‼️Huge news for fans of protecting Alaska's children from predators‼️: HB239, which includes raising the age of consent (finally) has passed and will head to @GovDunleavy for his signature.
Enormous gratitude is due to @rep_gray & @RepChuckKopp who both put their egos aside when Matt Claman highjacked their bills for his own political gain, nearly dooming its passage.
Kopp and Gray's willingness to put their egos aside & allow credit to be stolen for the greater good is admirable, but all Alaskans should know that all the credit in the world is owed to these two legislators.

Democrats will have a *great* chance to see @mattclaman ‘s “values” on display tomorrow:
@ClamanMatt is planning to vote YES for AG-designee Cox, even though Cox:
—opposes LGBTQ rights
—doesn’t believe in birthright citizenship
—violated every Alaskan’s privacy by transmitting their confidential voting info to the feds
—promotes using public education funds for private school tuition…
And much more!
If you’re a member of the @TheAlaskaDems contact Claman before tomorrow morning’s vote and let him know that voting to confirm Cox is disqualifying.
#akleg #akelect
🌟 MEET MATT CLAMAN! 🌟
Steady leadership, sharp thinking, and a deep commitment to doing right by Alaskans.
Count on him to show up and deliver!
Stay tuned as we highlight our three amazing Democratic candidates in the gubernatorial race!

Hyperpartisanship is a disease-- gerrymandering makes it worse by making general elections non-competitive and often elects the most extreme of candidates.
Open non-partisan primaries, like Alaska has, make elections competitive in November.
This can neutralize the worst effects of gerrymandering.

Matt Claman—who has obstructed the age of consent bill for a year—posted a video touting his public safety “record” including while Mayor of Anchorage.
I’m old enough to remember that he was acting mayor for about 4 months & also how his campaign for a full term went (badly👇)

@mattclaman —the man who has single-handedly obstructed the age of consent bill for a year—puts out a “public safety” video featuring a bunch of fake b-roll actor cops & touting his record as “mayor of Anchorage”
I’m old enough to remember that he served as “acting mayor” for about 4 months & also how the election went for him when he actually ran for mayor (hint: not well👇)

Every Alaskan deserves to feel safe. I’m running for governor to champion public safety and build stronger, safer communities across Alaska. Join us. #mattclaman #PublicSafety

Thank you ADN Ed bd for calling to put a clean bill raising the age of consent on the floor for a vote.
They put the blame where it belongs: on Sen. @mattclaman who has abused his chairmanship to block the bill for a year.

The race for Alaska's next Governor is wide open and we have the numbers!
Alaska Survey Research just completed a statewide poll of 1,061 likely primary voters, testing all (then 17, now 18!) candidates in the field. (1 OF 3)

Dark Money is a scourge on our democracy. Alaska has successfully banned it in state and local elections. 95% of Alaskans support this ban.
That’s why it’s baffling that @repealnowak is attempting to *repeal* Alaska’s ban on Dark Money, along with Open Primaries and RCV.
Insane that they want to give Outside billionaires the ability to spend in our elections anonymously.

‼️Please read this op-ed I wrote with Laura Norton-Cruz & former APD Chief Bianca Cross. It's important.‼️
For reasons I cannot fathom, @mattclaman opposes raising the age of consent from 16 to 18. As chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, he has frozen HB101 for many months. This is a commonsense bill that passed the House *unanimously*.
This change is a top priority for advocates against sexual violence, and will help stop adults from preying on vulnerable youth, many of whom are homeless.
Claman has claimed he is holding the bill to be part of an omnibus crime package. This is a clever deception. There is no such bill, and filing a large bill with weeks to go would certainly fail. It's just another way he can kill HB101 without his opposition being clear
⚡️What can you do?⚡️If you agree with this article, please share it and contact Sen. Claman and demand he release the bill from him committee and allow his colleagues to vote on it.
Contact:
email: Senator.Matt.Claman@akleg.gov
phone: 888-465-4919
Additionally, contact your own legislators and ask that they push on Claman as well.

The list goes on...
In 2016, Moore missed his AK prediction for Clinton v. Trump by 10 points.
In 2014, he was off by 11 points in Walker v. Parnell.
In 2010, he had Lisa Murkowski losing by 25 points.
@alaskalandmine isn't always right, but this take is 💯
#akleg #akelect
In 2014, Ivan Moore (owner of Alaska Survey Research) said Democratic incumbent Mark Begich was up by 6-8 points over Republican Dan Sullivan right before the November election. Sullivan won by more than 2 points - a 8-10 point swing from the poll.
In 2018, Moore said progressive Alyse Galvin was up 49-48 over Republican incumbent Don Young right before the election. Young won by 6.5 points - a 7.5 point swing from the poll.
In 2022, Moore said Republican incumbent Mike Dunleavy would get 43% in the first round. Dunleavy won outright with 50.2% - a 7 point swing from the poll.
Bottom line, add 7-8 points for the Republican in any poll from Ivan Moore. 🤡
