Sullivan's Absence at High School Senate Forum By Willie Hall October 20, 2014
Unfortunately, Republican candidate Dan Sullivan blew off the debate. As a Begich supporter and high school student this disappointed me. I was interested in hearing Sullivan state his positions in person on the numerous questions posed by the Youth Vote coordinators. But true to the nature of his campaign, Sullivan did not make an appearance along side his fellow candidates. Anchorage students felt snubbed. Sullivan did communicate to the Youth Vote coordinators that he was unable to attend due to a previous engagement, however, he could have at least provided some sort of video response, like both gubernatorial candidates, to inform the ASD audience of his platforms. Instead we were left with nothing from Mr. Sullivan. Youth Vote put on a professional, organized, finely produced and ready-for-broadcast debate that showed the next generation of voters should be taken seriously - something Dan Sullivan might want to consider more seriously heading into election day.
