Daniel J. Sullivan Jr.
Background
- A retired elementary school teacher who has lived in Petersburg since 1980; he worked for the U.S. Forest Service and in logging, construction and other blue-collar jobs.
- A registered Republican, certified for the general election. He received 4,107 votes, 2.47 per cent, in the August 18, 2026 primary, third of sixteen candidates.
- Filed his statement of candidacy with the FEC in July 2026, naming Daniel J. Sullivan for Senate as his campaign committee.
What they say they want to do
- Fair elections and equal access to the ballot, with open primaries and ranked-choice voting kept.
- Bipartisan immigration reform with legal pathways to citizenship, alongside border protection that uses technology.
- No cuts to salmon research and management, and investment in fishing-industry infrastructure.
- Overturning Citizens United, and Congress taking back powers he says it has handed to the executive.
- Federal help with housing: manufactured homes, rural utilities, and low-interest loans for first-time and low-income buyers.
What the official record shows
He has never held public office, so there is no official record of votes, bills or decisions to list, and his campaign makes no claim about a record of his own for this desk to test.
Campaign money from other committees, by type
His filings itemize no money from party or other political committees and no transfers: lines 11B, 11C and 12 of his 2026 reports through July 29 are empty. His one report shows $18,835.00 in receipts, $8,435.00 from individuals and a $10,400.00 loan from himself, and $14,780.41 in debts.
