When Sarah Palin appointed Dan Sullivan to serve as Alaska’s Attorney General, she was promoting the next generation of Tea Party leadership in the state.

Now Sullivan is running for the U.S. Senate where he sees himself aligned with Senators like Ted Cruz and Mike Lee; the crazy wing of the once-proud Republican Party.

After twenty years in the service, including a tour in Iraq, I’m happy to join with VoteVets in an effort to educate Alaskans about Sullivan’s extreme views.

Like the multiple times he tried to usher in a plan that would quickly grant land use permits on sensitive fisheries and hunting areas to his special interest friends – including general permits for mineral extraction – all without public notice or the chance to comment.

It’s a violation of Alaska’s State Constitution, and as an Alaskan, that’s something I take very seriously.

Watch VoteVets’ ad about Dan Sullivan’s special interest land grab and help us keep it on the air. Air time is cheaper in Alaska, so even a $5 contribution goes a long a way.

In a recent hearing about the bill, over 150 Alaskans attended to protect their fisheries, forests and wetlands. Only two stood in support of the bill, both representatives of a local mining association.

For many veterans, these lands are vital to re-acclimating to society after returning home from service overseas. They shouldn’t be handed over to special interests happy to irreparably destroy them for a quick buck.

Thank you for helping us make our voices heard on this issue.
