The Dan Sullivan scheme: Another ‘conspiracy theory’ turns out to be true

It is the biggest bombshell to break right before a midterm election we’ve seen in our lifetimes — and that’s not hyperbole.

Earlier this year, an Alaska Democrat Senate campaign allegedly recruited a regular citizen to also run for Senate. Only one prerequisite was required:

The goal, of course, was to confuse voters seeking to vote for Dan Sullivan, the Republican incumbent, by having someone with the same name on the ballot. And in a political climate that abandoned civility and sanity, this gambit proves that rock bottom has a basement.

The current race in Alaska between the aforementioned Sullivan and Mary Peltola (D) is truly a toss-up: Each of the last five major polls conducted in the state shows neither candidate leading by more than two points. Peltola has a slight advantage overall in the RealClearPolitics average of polls with a 1.2% lead.

And perhaps that’s why this scheme to confuse voters into siphoning votes away from the incumbent Dan Sullivan was concocted. Note: The “other” Dan Sullivan, the one who isn’t the incumbent senator, has gone AWOL in recent weeks. He has not campaigned in any capacity, nor has he since announcing his candidacy. He also tried to change his middle initial to match that of incumbent Dan S. Sullivan in an attempt to baffle voters further.

Has Alaska's Second Dan Sullivan Gone Into Hiding?

Yes, Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. has effectively disappeared from public view, although there is no confirmation that he is deliberately hiding.

According to a CBS News investigation published October 30, 2026:

Left Petersburg: He reportedly left his hometown earlier in the week. A former student saw him boarding a flight to Anchorage on Monday.
Whereabouts unknown: His location after arriving in Anchorage has not been established.
Reporters unable to locate him: CBS journalists visiting Petersburg found no sign of him, and the Associated Press also had difficulty reaching him.
No visible campaigning: Residents reported seeing virtually no campaign signs, flyers, mailers, or other campaign activity.
FBI investigation: Federal investigators are examining allegations that Democratic operatives connected to Mary Peltola's campaign helped recruit him to run against Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan.
Subpoenas issued: Investigators have issued subpoenas as they examine the circumstances surrounding his candidacy.

Bottom Line

The second Dan Sullivan has left his hometown, is apparently not campaigning, and cannot readily be located by reporters. Whether he is intentionally avoiding investigators or simply traveling remains unestablished.
