Read MoreA former lawyer for Mitch McConnell and J.D. Vance’s former lawyer are trying to boost fellow Federal Society member Sen. Dan Sullivan by insinuating that Petersburg Dan Sullivan “may” have broken federal civil rights laws and that he “pulled one over” on the Alaska Supreme Court.
It is the sleaziest of political tactics to say that someone “may” be a criminal, but that’s what Michael Fragoso and Sean Cooksey did in this Wall Street Journal column.
Read MoreGov. Mike Dunleavy claims that Glenfarne is “the company that has committed billions of dollars to this project,” referring to the Alaska LNG project.

Read MoreThe Alaska Supreme Court says that the Division of Elections should determine how Dan “Senator” Sullivan of Petersburg will be listed on the ballot, following established rules, and it cannot keep him off the ballot.
