Dan Sullivan

Senator Dan Sullivan has faced no indictments, bribery charges, or criminal convictions during his career. He has been subject to criticism regarding the following matters: Stock Disclosures: Between 2018 and 2022, Sullivan violated the federal STOCK Act three times by failing to report stock trades within the required 45-day window. These instances involved shares managed by a third-party advisor, including inherited stocks and holdings in RPM International, a company founded by his grandfather. There is no legal finding or evidence that he engaged in insider trading or intentionally hid transactions. Corporate Ties: Sullivan holds stock in RPM International, which paid a $65 million settlement in 2013 to resolve allegations that a subsidiary overcharged the federal government on contracts. While critics have highlighted his financial ties to the company and its subsequent receipt of federal contracts, there are no findings of wrongdoing by the senator. Regarding the 2026 election cycle, an individual also named Dan Sullivan (Daniel J. Sullivan Jr.) ran for the same Senate seat, leading to allegations from the incumbent’s allies that the challenger’s candidacy was a coordinated effort to confuse voters. The Alaska Supreme Court ruled the challenger could remain on the ballot, and there has been no evidence presented of coordination with other campaigns.
