Sen. Dan Sullivan said today that, in comparing the presidential terms of President Joe Biden and President Donald Trump, there’s no question who was better for Alaska: It’s Trump.
Sullivan has always said he would support the Republican nominee, which he has also predicted said would be Trump.
In Ketchikan for the day meeting with Alaskans, Sullivan reiterated what he said to the Legislature on Wednesday: Biden has enacted 56 executive orders shutting down Alaska’s economy in one form or another.
In a statement to Must Read Alaska, Sullivan answered the question on everyone’s mind: Who does he support for president?
“As I stated in my recent press conference, the two leading Presidential candidates both have detailed records on Alaska: Biden gets a “D-“ and Trump gets a “strong A.” In fact, working with me and our Republican Senate majority, the Trump Administration’s record to advance the interests of Alaskans is unmatched: ANWR, access to NPR-A, the King Cove Road, the Ambler Road, allotments for our heroic Alaska Native Vietnam Veterans, the Tongass Roadless rule exemption, reestablishing our state’s right to manage fish and game, Operation Lady Justice to address the missing and murdered indigenous women crisis, historic investments in public safety for rural Alaska villages, defending our Second Amendment rights, appointing conservative judges to the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, and putting prominent Alaskans in Senate confirmed assistant secretary positions at the Department of the Interior.
“From Day 1, President Biden has focused on reversing this historic record of achievement to the significant detriment of Alaskans. If re-elected, President Biden will continue his aggressive, illegal push to turn Alaska into a giant national park. For all these reasons, I am again supporting former President Trump for President and working with my colleagues to regain a Republican majority in the U.S. Senate,” he said.
Also endorsing Trump is Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy and Republican congressional candidates Nick Begich and Nancy Dahlstrom. Sen. Lisa Murkowski opposes Trump and Biden; Democrat Rep. Mary Peltola, who replaced Trump-supporting Congressman Don Young, has endorsed Biden.
