ANCHORAGE — From atop the Dena’ina Center in downtown Anchorage Mark Begich shares his record of delivering results for Alaska. The list includes the convention center Begich oversaw from concept to completion and Dan Sullivan obliviously used to proclaim “we need real results, not just talk.”

Begich reminds Sullivan the convention center they both stood on was built at Begich’s urging. Begich also offers Dan Sullivan suggestions for future political advertisements including Eielson Air Force Base where Begich kept the F-16s or the new hospitals in Nome or Barrow Begich delivered funds for.

 

 

“Dan Sullivan paid high praise to Mark Begich by filming a political ad at the Dena’ina Center and we are happy to suggest additional locations where Dan Sullivan can showcase more of the results Mark Begich has delivered for Alaska,” said Alaskans for Begich Communications Director Max Croes.

The convention center was called the “crowning achievement” of Mark Begich’s tenure as mayor of Anchorage.

Filming an ad on top of the Dena’ina Center without knowing it was built at the urging of one of his opponents feeds legitimate questions Dan Sullivan has been battling about his residency since declaring his candidacy.
