Alaska Senate race features three candidates sharing a name as incumbent secures endorsement from former mayor

Sen. Dan S. Sullivan (R-Alaska) received an endorsement from former Anchorage Mayor Dan A. Sullivan ahead of the November general election, where he faces Dan J. Sullivan and Democrat Mary Peltola. Dan J. Sullivan, a retired teacher, overcame a legal challenge to remain on the ballot after accusations that his campaign aimed to confuse voters. The Cook Political Report rates the race as a toss-up, while some Republicans allege Dan J. Sullivan is a Democratic plant, a claim he denies.
