§1On the ballot
Why this matters: This is exactly how the candidate appears on your ballot, from the state's official candidate list.
| Office | U.S. Senate · Alaska1, |
|---|---|
| Party on the ballot | No party label on the ballot1, |
| Status | Challenger |
| How it's decided | Alaska's general election uses ranked-choice voting among the four candidates who advanced from the August top-four primary: if no one wins a majority of first choices, the last-place candidate is dropped and those ballots count for their next choice, round by round, until one candidate has a majority.3 |

§2Who they are
Why this matters: Background and experience help you judge how someone might do the job. These come from public records and the candidate's own materials.
Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.
Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. was born in the Midwest and has lived in Petersburg, Alaska, for nearly 50 years.4 After earning a degree in forestry technology, he moved to Southeast Alaska to work for the U.S. Forest Service in surveying, timber management and timber sale administration.4 He later earned a degree in education and worked as an elementary school teacher.4 He has also worked in logging, construction, steel mills and bartending.4
Why they say they're running
His campaign website says he is running in part because too many leaders look out for themselves instead of the public, and says that as a senator he would listen to Alaskans and put the state first.4

§3Money
Why this matters: Campaigns report where their money comes from and how much they have left. Outside groups that spend on their own, without coordinating with the campaign, report that too.

Where the money came from
Outside spending
Groups spending independently reported $0 supporting and $38,036 opposing Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. this cycle, primary and general combined, in the 24- and 48-hour reports the law requires for larger expenditures, filed through October 22, 2026.7
| Group | Supporting | Opposing |
|---|---|---|
| Working America | — | $37,500 |
| WorkMoney, Inc. | — | $536 |
Smaller expenditures that appear only on a group's regular monthly or quarterly report aren't in these totals, so the full amounts can be somewhat higher. When a group amends a report, only its latest version is counted.
§4Financial disclosures
Why this matters: Federal candidates and members of Congress must report their assets, income, debts and outside jobs, and members must report stock trades. These filings show possible conflicts of interest.
Senate candidates and senators file with the Senate's own disclosure system, which asks each visitor to agree to its terms before searching, so we can't link straight to a filing. You can search for Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. at efdsearch.senate.gov8.
