Peltola campaign under fire after report that it recruited second Dan Sullivan for Alaska Senate race [Spoiler Claims are True]
ABC ^ | 10 28 2026 | Hannah Demissie and Emily Chang

Alaska Democratic Senate candidate Mary Peltola's campaign is under fire after a New York Times report out Wednesday that it played a role in recruiting Dan J. Sullivan -- a Republican who almost has the same name as incumbent GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan -- as part of an effort to sow confusion and ultimately benefit Peltola's campaign.

The New York Times report said it relied on 12 sources, text messages and documents that allegedly showed members of Peltola's campaign, lawyers for Peltola and senior aides at Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee contributed to pushing Dan J. Sullivan, a Republican on Alaska's four-way ballot, to run.

The Times said the effort to find a spoiler candidate -- who could potentially siphon votes from Sen. Sullivan, thus benefiting Peltola -- was internally referred to as the ballot composition project.

Alaskans for Mary, the campaign committee for Peltola, said through a spokesperson on Wednesday that it "has no involvement with either Sullivan campaign."

How is she still allowed to run after being caught cheating before the election? Should be charged with election fraud and do some hard time like 20 years +

Yes its cheating, unethical but what law was actually broken. If a law was broken did she break or did her campaign officials and the 2nd Sullivan?

Sems that Dan S (fake) Sullivan is now, suddenly, running as an Indy.

Methinks he is scared poopless about a Federal indictment.....

Mary has denied this for months - so add bald faced LIAR.

Some posters are suggesting that even though this was an unethical dirty trick by the Democrats, there were no laws broken.

But it appears there may well have been laws broken. It is illegal for a campaign to coordinate activities with PACs. There is a trail of money exchanging hands involving a PAC to get the fake Dan Sullivan on the ballot. Carl Higbie of Newsmax led of his show tonight with details on it all.

Native American so it doesn’t matter. Get it?

If we have something on her by all means go after her. We just need to remember Bill Clinton hid behind the skirts of Hillary and Janet Reno for 8 years-made him safe. The Kenyan did the same behind his fashion model wife before she could pass for Bigfoot. An American Indian learned from BJ you don’t say you’re sorry-think Pete Rose.

So there you have it.
