ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Gambling911.com) - Alaska Republican Senator Dan Sullivan has seen his odds improve slightly in that state's senate race following reports that Democrat Mary Peltola's campaign appeared to be involved in recruiting a candidate with the same name as Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan.
Peltola was still priced at -300 while Sullivan now pays out $240 for every $100 bet.
The race is among a handful of Senate contests this year expected to determine control of the chamber.
“I think they should be prosecuted,” the Republican president said about Peltola and the other Sullivan, responding to questions about a report in The New York Times. He earlier had posted on social media that “Peltola should suffer the Legal and Political consequences for what she has done.”
The newspaper obtained text messages between members of Peltola’s campaign discussing recruiting other people with the same name as the two-term Republican. They eventually landed on a retired schoolteacher in the small fishing community of Petersburg named Dan J. Sullivan. He made it through the state’s August open primary and is one of four candidates on the ranked vote ballot for next Tuesday’s general election.
Dan J. Sullivan has long denied he was running at Democrats’ behest and has said he had no contact with Peltola’s campaign: “Zero, none, zilch,” he said in June after announcing his run.
He did not respond to a message seeking comment Wednesday from The Associated Press.
