FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 4/25/2014

ANCHORAGE — U.S. Senate candidate Dan Sullivan is shifting attention away from his secretive endorsement by the anti-Alaska Club for Growth after spending one week airing a TV spot about the group. Sullivan debuted a new TV ad with no references to the DC-based Club for Growth, which wants to privatize Social Security and turn Medicare into a voucher system.

“After spending a week telling Alaskans to follow the instructions of the DC-based Club for Growth by supporting his campaign Dan Sullivan is now desperately trying to recast Mark Begich’s solid record of delivering for Alaska’s oil industry — It won’t work,” said Max Croes, Alaskans for Begich Communications Director.

Sullivan’s new ad on energy development intentionally ignores U.S. Senator Mark Begich’s work to open the Arctic Ocean to oil drilling and successful push to secure the first ever commercial oil production in National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska.
