Independent journalist Nick Sortor traveled to Decoy Daniel J. Sullivan’s Alaska neighborhood this week to expose the phony candidate and speak to locals who spilled more details about his fake candidacy in the Alaska Senate race.
Daniel J. Sullivan was recruited to run against Incumbent Senator Dan S. Sullivan by a staffer for Democrat challenger Mary Peltola. The staffer was tasked with finding as many Dan Sullivans in Alaska as possible so they could add a second Dan Sullivan to the ballot. The plan reportedly involved traveling to “far-flung Alaskan communities and the appearance of a mysterious Midwestern operative, who traversed the state using a fake name and made his pitch to would-be candidates over beers at brew pubs,” the New York Times revealed after reviewing text messages and documents related to the scandal.
Sullivan was found in “a tiny fishing village along the Alaska Panhandle, reachable only by air.
Sullivan is nowhere to be found as the Justice Department pursues a criminal investigation involving more than 40 subpoenas.
Sortor traveled to the missing decoy candidate’s home on Sunday amid reports that he’s fled from law enforcement investigating the fraud. He said they “staked out Decoy Dan’s house for SEVERAL hours over TWO DAYS and couldn’t detect even the slightest movements in the house.”
Sortor released footage of himself investigating the empty home, knocking on the door of the main house and an apparent guest house, exploring the area in a remote part of Alaska, and finding a rope, which he described as a noose.
WATCH:
🚨 WHERE THE HELL IS DECOY DAN?
I FLEW 22 HOURS to ALASKA to speak with the FAKE Dan Sullivan, and it turns out he FLED THE TOWN
We staked out Decoy Dan’s house for SEVERAL hours over TWO DAYS and couldn’t detect even the slightest movements in the house.
We’re told he hopped on a flight earlier this week after catching wind of the BOMBSHELL story about his recruitment to run for Senate to confuse voters — despite being holed up in his house for the ENTIRE rest of the election.
Decoy Dan is MIA, and FBI is hopefully hot on his trail.
We CANNOT ALLOW this sort of election manipulation in our government.
Throw the BOOK at him, DOJ!

Sortor then went to Sullivan’s neighbor’s home to ask if they had seen him, and they revealed that Sullivan is not even a Republican.
Daniel J. Sullivan previously ran in the Senate primary as a Republican and is now running in the general election as a no-party-affiliated candidate after receiving just 2.5% of the vote. He was placed on the ballot to confuse voters into voting for the wrong Dan Sullivan, giving Democrat Mary Peltola a victory in the solid red state.
“He’s been a Democrat his entire life. Every election we drive by there, and he’s always been a Bernie Sanders or a, you know, Kamala Harris supporter, and so for him to call himself a Republican, obviously,” said the man, identified as Mr. Meeks, as his wife chimed in, “it’s questionable.”
“Isn’t election integrity and honesty, shouldn’t that be something that you’d want to run on? Obviously, he’s lying about who he is,” he added.
“I think he could probably make money off this if he sold his story or maybe did a movie. He could call it the Useful Idiot.”
The man’s wife noted that they didn’t know their Senator’s middle initial was S until the decoy Dan debacle and that they penciled in “Dan S.” on their Sullivan for Senate yard sign because “we had to distinguish between the two of them somehow because it was confusing and deceptive.”
“I would think that if he ends up in court and has to hire a lawyer, who’s going to pay his court fees? The Democrats?” The man asked, then noted that the Democrats will abandon him, and “that’s where the useful idiot comes in.”

Several neighbors were seen with signs in their yards, with “Dan S.” penciled in to overcome confusion at the polls.
