U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan is supporting Lisa Murkowski's Senate reelection bid but says he hasn’t endorsed a candidate in Alaska’s U.S. House race yet.
Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, speaks during a ceremony for the late Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska, in Statuary Hall as he lies in state on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, March 29, 2022. Young, the longest-serving member of Alaska's congressional delegation, died Friday, March 18. He was 88.
Sullivan said he is “still hurting” over the loss of Republican Rep. Don Young, who at the time of his death last month was seeking reelection to the seat he had held since 1973. Sullivan said that when it comes to a successor to Young, he is interested in “having a fighter like Don Young was” and a Republican.
There will be a special primary and special election to determine who will serve the remainder of Young’s term, which ends in January, and the regular primary and general election will decide who is elected to a two-year term, starting in January.Sullivan made his comments to reporters after giving a speech to a joint session of the Alaska Legislature. Alaska’s U.S. senators traditionally address state lawmakers. Murkowski did so in February.
