Alaska GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan is planning legal action to prevent another Dan Sullivan who filed to run against him from appearing on the ballot, calling it a Democrat-led ploy to confuse voters.<\/p>\n

Sen. Dan Sullivan, the two-term incumbent, said the other Mr. Sullivan is a \u201cliberal Democrat\u201d who changed his party registration to Republican just before he filed to run for Senate on Friday.<\/p>\n

He believes his name twin was likely recruited by national Democrats or their preferred candidate in the race, former Rep. Mary Peltola.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Democrats, [Senate Minority Leader Charles E.] Schumer, they\u2019ve been pounding me for over a year with money. And now they realize they can\u2019t beat me, so they\u2019re gonna cheat,\u201d Sen. Dan Sullivan said. \u201cThis is really bad.\u201d<\/p>\n

The incumbent said the metadata from his challenger\u2019s campaign announcement shows it originated from a Democratic consultant and Peltola supporter named Amber Lee.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have the right to run for office, of course, but you don\u2019t have the right legally if your primary goal is to confuse people and rig the election for another candidate,\u201d Sen. Dan Sullivan said. \u201cThis guy\u2019s primary purpose is to confuse Alaskans and rig the election for my real opponent, which is Mary Peltola.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Peltola campaign said it \u201chas no involvement with either Sullivan campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

The incumbent said challenger Dan Sullivan not only copied his party affiliation but his campaign logo, using the same font, white and yellow typeface, dark blue background and a star.<\/p>\n

The senators\u2019 logo has multiple stars and uses the typeface colors in different spots, but the other Mr. Sullivan\u2019s logo is a pretty clear attempt to mirror his without directly copying it.<\/p>\n

The Times reached out to the challenger Mr. Sullivan\u2019s campaign for comment. His Friday announcement does not address his party affiliation but makes clear his goal is to unseat the incumbent.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor too long, Senator Sullivan has failed to put Alaska first. When you truly care about a people and a place, you have a duty to make every sacrifice within your power to protect them. That\u2019s why I\u2019m running,\u201d said Mr. Sullivan, an elementary school teacher.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s time for Alaska to elect a Sullivan that\u2019s on their side,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Sen. Dan Sullivan said his challenger has received campaign donations from Ms. Peltola and \u201cevery far-left group imaginable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody in Alaska knows this is a scam, that it is a sham candidacy,\u201d he said, saying Senate Democrats should demand the other Mr. Sullivan exit the race if they were not involved in recruiting him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
