He talks tough on the border. He talks big on Alaska energy. And he’d rather not talk about Jeffrey Epstein at all. The receipts below tell the real story: his votes, his words, his donors.
That’s the real Dan Sullivan.↓
Dan Sullivan voted for Biden’s border czar.
Their open border policy led to drugs, crime, and illegal immigrants pouring into our country. Fentanyl from Mexican drug cartels, made with Chinese chemicals, flooded into Alaska. And now Alaska has one of the highest rates of fentanyl overdoses in the country.
Don’t take our word for it. Take Dan Sullivan’s.
“They let 12 million illegals in.”
Dan Sullivan · December 2024 · The Cats Roundtable
“A large part of this was the result of the Biden administration’s open border policies, with fentanyl pouring in from Mexican drug cartels who have made their way to Alaska, made with Chinese chemicals.”
Dan Sullivan · March 2025 · Facebook
“Guess which state … has the highest rates of fentanyl overdoses? Alaska. We’re getting crushed by this fentanyl crisis.”

The man running that open southern border?
Dan Sullivan voted to put him there.
The rest of the record
Sullivan even voted against the law to increase funding at the border for law enforcement and to deport criminals who are here illegally.
Anchorage Daily News, 12/23/22
Sullivan said Biden’s Interior nominee had “radical views on energy.” Then he voted for her.
On March 15, 2021, Dan Sullivan sided with the Democrats and voted to confirm Deb Haaland as Biden’s Interior Secretary.

And then Haaland handcuffed Alaska’s energy production.
- Oil and gas leases: canceled
- North Slope development: restricted
- 28 million acres: locked up
Here’s what that costs you.
Alaskans already pay some of the highest energy costs in America. Residential electricity prices run 35% above the national average, and rural communities pay three to five times more for electricity than Anchorage or Fairbanks.

And when Alaska was awarded more than $808 million in energy funding, Sullivan voted no.
And when Alaska was awarded
More Than
$808,692,869
in energy funding… Sullivan voted no.
On August 7, 2022, Sullivan voted against the bill that delivered more than $808 million in energy grants, rebates, and no-interest loans to Alaskan communities, utilities, tribes, and businesses.

And he didn’t just vote no. The same day, Sullivan voted for an amendment to specifically cut the home energy rebate program, the one that later delivered $74.6 million for Alaska households.
