But in the email from Daniel J. Sullivan to the Lieutenant Governor on June 10th, he states, quote, "Like the incumbent, I also go by Dan. I have publicly gone by Dan Sullivan as long as I can remember," end quote. So my question is, why must he be listed as Daniel, but the U.S. senator will be listed as Dan. This was a choice by the division, and it's a bit of first in time, first in place, that Dan Sullivan has already been on the ballot prior as Dan Sullivan, is known as Dan Sullivan, so it was simply a way to differentiate between the two.
