To the GOP, he’s a sham candidate. At home, he’s Mr. Sullivan, ex-teacher and Alaska Senate hopeful

Two Dan Sullivans are competing in Alaska’s Senate race, with Dan J. Sullivan, a retired teacher from Petersburg, facing accusations from GOP allies of being a sham candidate. The Alaska Supreme Court reinstated Dan J. Sullivan on the ballot after he was initially removed by a state elections official. Local residents in Petersburg defend his legitimacy, while the primary race includes 16 candidates.
