Sullivan raises $2.1M in Q1, lands labor and Native-corporation endorsements

Senator Dan Sullivan's reelection campaign raised $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2026, bringing total cash-on-hand to $7.5 million across all authorized committees. The campaign announced the fundraising total Friday.

The quarter's haul came alongside endorsements from Alaska Teamsters Local 959, the Alaska District Council of Laborers, United Fishermen of Alaska, and the ANCSA Regional Association. The four organizations collectively represent more than 145,000 Alaska workers and Alaska Native shareholders.

The Alaska District Council of Laborers, representing 5,000 workers in construction, energy, health care, and public-sector jobs, cited Sullivan's support for Davis-Bacon prevailing wages and energy infrastructure. Alaska Teamsters Local 959, with 5,000 members statewide, endorsed Sullivan for similar reasons.

United Fishermen of Alaska, the leading statewide commercial fishing organization, pointed to Sullivan's authorship of the Save Our Seas Act and the Alaska Salmon Research Task Force Act. The ANCSA Regional Association, representing the 12 Alaska Native regional corporations and 135,000 shareholders, cited Sullivan's defense of CARES Act funding for Native corporations and his work expanding contracting opportunities for Alaska Native firms.

Sullivan has held the seat since 2015. He faces Democrat Mary Peltola in the 2026 general election. Peltola previously served in the U.S. House before announcing her Senate bid.

Under Alaska's top-four primary system, all candidates appear on a single nonpartisan primary ballot, with the top four vote-getters advancing to the ranked-choice general election regardless of party.
