AK-SEN: Healthcare cuts threaten Sullivan's reelection chances in Alaska

Alaskans have been hit hard by the healthcare cuts in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and lapsed ObamaCare subsidies, presenting a prime target for Democrats seeking to oust Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan from office.

A Democratic ad campaign released late last month accused Sullivan of voting to raise health insurance premiums in Alaska by more than $1,800 on average, referring to his votes against Democratic bills that would have ended the government shutdown in exchange for extending Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax subsidies.

When former Alaska Rep. Mary Peltola (D) launched her Senate campaign earlier this year, her announcement took a swipe at Sullivan’s support for the GOP megabill, pointing to a think tank’s projection that it would take healthcare coverage from millions of Americans.

Sullivan appears well aware of his vulnerability on the issue.
