The Club for Growth’s political action arm announced Wednesday that it is supporting Dan Sullivan in the Republican Senate primary in Alaska.  

Sullivan, a former state attorney general and Natural Resources commissioner, is one of three Republicans vying for the nomination to take on Democratic Sen. Mark Begich, a top target of national Republicans.  

In recent cycles, the club sometimes backed primary challengers to GOP incumbents and upstarts whom national Republicans do not always view as the best candidate for the race. But that’s not the case here.  

Sullivan has raised far more than the GOP competition, Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell and attorney Joe Miller, for the Aug. 19 primary.  

Club for Growth President Chris Chocola said Sullivan would be among “the right kind of Republican senators,” like Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Tom Coburn of Oklahoma.  

“Dan Sullivan is a fiscal conservative with a stellar track record in Alaska and we strongly endorse him for the United States Senate,” Chocola said in a statement. “Dan has fought for pro-growth tax reform, taken on ObamaCare in court, and beaten back federal overreach by Obama’s EPA. In the Senate, Dan Sullivan will continue the fight for economic freedom and we can’t wait to see him help deliver for America the kinds of pro-growth policies he’s already delivered for Alaska.”  

The general-election race is rated Tilts Democrat by Rothenberg Political Report/Roll Call.
