The Dan Sullivan wars are entering a new phase.

National Republicans are asking the Federal Election Commission to probe Dan J. Sullivan and an Alaska political operative over Sullivan’s run against Sen. Dan S. Sullivan, R-Alaska, according to a complaint first shared with Semafor.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee alleges that Amber Lee, who runs a ā€œconsulting firm with an exclusively progressive client rosterā€ and worked for a pro-Mary Peltola super PAC, hasn’t been paid for her work helping launch Dan J. Sullivan’s campaign.

The complaint says Lee may have extended credit ā€œoutside the ordinary course of business for political campaign consultants and therefore likely made an excessive contribution to a federal candidate.ā€

NRSC spokesperson Nick Puglia said Peltola’s allies don’t ā€œthink the rules apply to them. The FEC must immediately investigate and sanction Fraud Dan Sullivan and Amber Lee for breaking federal law.ā€
