Begich, Sullivan out with new ads in Senate race

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) - Several new TV ads are out in the Alaska U.S. Senate race.

Democratic U.S. Sen. Mark Begich’s new spot features him on snowmobile, and touting his efforts to build a bridge across the Colville River to reach oil leases within the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska.

Republican hopeful Dan Sullivan has two new ads, which his campaign says began running Friday.

One features his service in the military and in the state and federal governments. Another is narrated by his wife, Julie Fate Sullivan, in which she talks about Sullivan’s service and role as a husband and father. She talks about the start of their relationship and bringing him to Alaska.

Begich also recently ran an ad narrated by his wife. It featured images of his father, who served Alaska in Congress.
