BREAKING: NYT reports that operatives with Democratic Alaska U.S. Senate candidate Mary Peltola’s campaign were behind the effort to find & recruit a candidate named Dan Sullivan to run against incumbent GOP Senator Dan S. Sullivan in an effort to confuse voters and peel votes from him.

Specifically, NYT says they have reviewed text messages and documents that reveal in summer 2025, a Peltola staffer received instructions from campaign staffers to find as many people named Dan Sullivan in Alaska as possible.

The staffer complied, going through voter records, and compiled a list. The operation “involved secret trips to far-flung Alaskan communities and the appearance of a mysterious Midwestern operative, who traversed the state using a fake name and made his pitch to would-be candidates over beers at brew pubs.”

Per NYT:

“The plan worked. This spring, a retired teacher from a tiny fishing village along the Alaska Panhandle, reachable only by air and sea, announced his candidacy for Senate. His name was Dan J. Sullivan.”

"It’s expensive to do the right thing and the people that we elect into office, they’ve got their eyes somewhere else and they’re not concerned about the things regular people have to deal with.” ~ Bob Carr, write-in candidate for Rhode Island governor https://t.co/vXxgdHj3GU?

@RayBaccari I’m surprised too !These profile pieces by the Current have been pretty good and informative. Even if it’s not my district I still like to know who is going to be running my state ! And that’s the legislature. ( not so much the governor 😂)

But Democrats are pacing ahead of the final 2024 electorate in all but two states. This is mostly the model for now, but gradually will acquire more signal from early voting.

[Patrick Ruffini @PatrickRuffini]

🧵 I have been a skeptic of early voting analysis so I took this as a challenge to build something I would find useful. So that's what I did, for the entire country.

Fun tidbit: in every state bordering Canada except one, Republicans are outpacing the 2026 turnout model.

“For the first time in six years, state lawmakers are set to reconvene after the Nov. 3 election to consider the appointments of five magistrates and potentially four other judges, including Gov. Dan McKee’s pick for the Supreme Court”
