Here’s what you may have missed in the lead up to primary day in Alaska.
Mary Peltola’s campaign is in chaos as Lower 48 liberals parachute in
After Lower 48 liberal Kamala Harris endorsed Mary Peltola, she fired multiple senior staffers days before the primary. Contrary to Peltola’s claims, Peltola asked for Harris’ endorsement. Peltola has now hired a Lower 48 firm and the DNC has stepped in to run Peltola’s campaign.
Did Harris’ endorsement play a role in Peltola firing staffers?
Fraud Sullivan Exposed in the New York Times
Fraud Sullivan’s own admissions in a recent New York Times report further prove he is a Democrat recruited by Democrats to deceive Alaska voters. Between Peltola’s messy campaign and Fraud Sullivan’s self-owns, Chuck Schumer’s tricks in Alaska are blowing up in his face. From the Times:
He told me he has never voted for President Trump. He voted for the Democratic nominee in the last three presidential elections.
He said he voted for Ms. Peltola in her bids for the House in 2022 and 2024. He did not vote for Senator Sullivan in his previous two Senate campaigns.
He is politically active, attending local events protesting the Trump administration, including at least one “No Kings” protest.
…
In 2023, Mr. Sullivan wrote a letter to the editor of the local newspaper, complaining about Mr. Vinson’s run for local office and noting that Mr. Vinson years earlier had displayed a sign outside his house that Mr. Sullivan objected to.
…
I looked around for evidence of his political leanings. He displayed a large American flag on his balcony, but I spotted another object of note: a refrigerator magnet featuring Che Guevara, the Marxist revolutionary.
Meanwhile, a fellow Marine who served with Senator Dan Sullivan is praising his Alaska First record.
Letter: The Dan Sullivan I served with

Marines judge each other by actions, not words. I served with Sen. Dan Sullivan in the Marine Corps, and I learned that he could be counted on. He prepared for the mission, took responsibility and looked after the people around him.
The reserve recalled him to active duty twice while he held public office, and he deployed to Afghanistan in 2013. He retired as a colonel after 30 years, the last actively serving Marine in the Senate.
Dan understands that Alaska is not the end of the map. It’s the front line of American defense and a cornerstone of our security in the Arctic and Indo-Pacific.
He has worked to strengthen missile defense at Fort Greely, expand military investment at Eielson Air Force Base and Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, build the Coast Guard icebreaker fleet, and make Arctic security a national priority. His work also helped bring a larger Marine Corps presence to Alaska, improving our readiness to operate in one of the world’s toughest and most strategically important environments.Just as important, Dan remembers the people behind the uniform. He helped fulfill the long-delayed land promises made to Alaska Native Vietnam veterans and has consistently stood up for Alaska’s service members, veterans and military families.
I knew Dan as a fellow Marine. Alaskans know him as a senator who shows up, understands the mission and fights for the people he represents. At a time of growing threats around the world, America needs tested leaders who understand both strength and service.
Dan Sullivan has devoted his adult life to Alaska and the nation. He has earned my respect as a friend, Marine and fellow Alaskan. He has my support.
