Sullivan’s chaos could shut down our ferries this summer

And Alaskans will face the consequences

Dear Jason, A lifeline for communities across our state is now at risk of a partial or total shutdown this summer. According to reporting from the Alaska Beacon, the Alaska Marine Highway System could run out of funding for our ferry systems because the current administration failed to issue a key annual grant that covers nearly half of its operating costs. Without that funding, ships could be tied up in midsummer — at the height of tourist season. And make no mistake: Dan Sullivan helped create this mess. DONATE TODAY Sullivan backed reckless federal spending cuts and pledged to work "very closely" with Elon Musk and the so-called DOGE effort. Now, Alaska is facing the consequences of that federal chaos. Even Alaska's own Republican-appointed DOT commissioner is asking, "What is going on in Washington, DC?" Dan Sullivan chose political theater over Alaska's needs. Because of these funding cuts, our ferry system could shut down in the middle of summer — harming coastal communities, crushing small businesses, and putting tourism jobs at risk. In a state as large and remote as ours, ferries aren't optional. They are essential infrastructure. They are how families travel, how students get to tournaments, how goods move, and how communities stay connected. Sullivan has been predictably silent as this crisis unfolds. Alaska deserves a Senator who will fight to protect the services our communities rely on — not create chaos and disappear when it's time to deliver. If you're ready to hold Dan Sullivan accountable and protect Alaska's ferry system, chip in today to help us fight back. ––––––––– In solidarity, Eric Croft Chair Alaska Democratic Party Paid for by the Alaska Democratic Party (www.akdems.org).
