Once again, Dan Sullivan has failed Alaskans, betrayed his oath of office and put our troops in danger. His enthusiastic support of Pete Hegseth for Defense Secretary has fundamentally compromised American security and endangered American troops. It’s full amateur hour with Hegseth, a man wholly unfit to head the department of defense. Advertising classified military intelligence to reporters, his family, heck, anyone paying attention. And he has Sullivan’s full support. Bootlicking Dan is selling us all out. The 2026 elections can’t come soon enough. Incompetent Sullivan needs to go.

— Jason Nelson, Anchorage
