Dan J. Sullivan, a retired teacher with no prior political experience, appears on Alaska's four-person ranked-choice November ballot alongside incumbent Sen. Dan S. Sullivan (R-AK) and former Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola. Dan J. Sullivan's campaign materials list him as a Republican and include an announcement urging voters to elect a Sullivan who stands up for Alaska. A progressive consultant previously aligned with Peltola helped shape his materials, and he was initially removed from the ballot before qualifying.
