FBI Visits Dan J. Sullivan Donor in Petersburg as Alaska Senate Probe Expands
Federal law enforcement agents expanded their inquiry into Alaska’s U.S. Senate race this week, visiting a donor to candidate Dan J. Sullivan in his hometown of Petersburg. The visit marks a significant escalation in the ongoing federal investigation concerning the presence of two candidates sharing the name Dan Sullivan on the state’s general election ballot.
The investigation focuses on the candidacy of Daniel J. Sullivan Jr., a retired schoolteacher running as an independent candidate, who shares a nearly identical name with incumbent Republican Senator Dan S. Sullivan. According to news coverage by AP News, FBI agents visited the home of a local resident in Petersburg who donated to the independent candidate’s campaign to question them regarding potential deceptive practices surrounding the candidate’s entry into the contest.
The inquiry comes alongside broader legal action from the U.S. Department of Justice. As reported by PBS NewsHour, federal prosecutors have also issued grand jury subpoenas to multiple campaign entities as part of the probe into how the second candidate reached the ballot.
