text: Sullivan' dad did not him elected to the Alaska US Senate, he bought and paid for the seat. My husband was out of town during most of the senate election. I saved the hundreds of big colorful flyers stuffed in our mailbox on a daily basis about how horrible Begich was and it you lived here a long time you know the lies. It was sad to see politics in this state get that low with all the dark money that flowed into this state to make the senate race not a matter of political views but just as nasty as Sullivan's super pac's could conjure up.
