Alaska Senate Race to Include Two Candidates Sharing Same Name

A retired teacher named Dan Sullivan, who finished third in Alaska's all-party primary, will appear on the November ballot alongside Republican incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan and Democrat Mary Peltola. The challenger, a Trump critic, secured a spot under the state's top-four primary system, which uses ranked-choice voting in the general election. The incumbent's allies have accused Democrats of using the name similarity to confuse voters, a claim Peltola's camp denies.
