Overview
- Americans for Public Trust filed a formal complaint with the Federal Election Commission on Tuesday alleging that Dan J. Sullivan’s campaign illegally coordinated with the 907 Initiative through Democratic strategist Amber Lee.
- The complaint cites Lee’s simultaneous work for the challenger and her position on the 907 Initiative board and notes the campaign owed Lee’s firm $4,380.41.
- Public disclosures referenced in the filing show the 907 Initiative spent roughly $1.5 million attacking Sen. Dan S. Sullivan this cycle, with about $575,000 spent in the final 90 days before the primary.
- State election officials first removed Dan J. Sullivan from the ballot for running in bad faith but Alaska courts later reinstated him and he advanced under the state’s top‑four primary system.
- The 907 Initiative denies any coordination, federal prosecutors have issued grand‑jury subpoenas, and the FEC complaint adds a regulatory track that could affect how the November ranked‑choice contest unfolds and be relevant to control of the Senate.
