Good afternoon. It’s Monday, June 29.

In today's newsletter:

  • A community donation-based project that provides rapid assistance to people experiencing homelessness in Anchorage has raised approximately $186,000 between its launch in November and the end of May.

  • Lawmakers tasked with negotiating a compromise on a new tax regime for the Alaska LNG megaproject held an all-day meeting over the weekend, as they looked to craft a bill that could be put to a vote.

  • A 23-year-old former U.S. Army soldier was found guilty last week of second-degree murder in the 2023 killing of his wife in Anchorage.

The Alaska Supreme Court is hearing arguments today in a case that will decide whether Sen. Dan Sullivan's challenger with the same name can appear on the primary ballot. With that in mind, here's a brief history of same-named political candidates, election hijinks and Dan Sullivans in Alaska.
