NRSC Urges FEC to Probe Dan J. Sullivan Over Unpaid Campaign Debt

Summary
A Republican complaint asks the FEC to investigate Alaska Senate candidate Dan J. Sullivan and operative Amber Lee over work tied to his challenge against Sen. Dan S. Sullivan.
Amber Lee allegedly was not paid for helping launch the campaign, which the NRSC says may amount to credit extended outside normal consulting practice and thus an excessive in-kind contribution.
Lee runs a consulting firm described in the complaint as serving exclusively progressive clients and previously worked for a pro-Mary Peltola super PAC, sharpening the partisan stakes around the filing.
The move opens a new front in the fight around Sullivan’s candidacy, with Republicans pressing federal regulators to examine whether campaign-finance rules were broken.
