RNC Statement on 'Decoy' Dan being removed from the ballot in Alaska

Press Release

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Joe Gruters released the following statement on 'Decoy' Dan J. Sullivan being removed from the Alaskan ballot in a win for election integrity: 

 

“Alaskans can rest easy that their leaders will never tolerate blatant attempts to mislead voters and rig elections like Democrats' Decoy Dan Scam. This is the right decision that will protect Alaskans from an unprecedented attack on our democracy."

 

As a reminder, the connections between Decoy Dan and Democrats are indisputable:

  • His son is a Democrat political operative who has worked for the DCCC and Alaska Democrats
  • Decoy Dan said his father was a Republican. But in the 2024 election his father voted in the Democrat primary, and otherwise was nonpartisan.
  • He admitted he was not a Republican
  • A Peltola supporter, Amber Lee, is running his campaign
    • Lee worked for Peltola's single candidate super Pac at least as late as late Feb this year
    • Lee and the Super Pac vendor she worked for that is doing work for Peltola's Super PAC, Lottsfeldt Strategies, have scrubbed their connection to each other despite proudly proclaiming it for years in a desperate attempt at a cover up.
  • He donated to Mary Peltola and a Chicago Democrat Socialist in this year's primary
