Defense coverage
Top-four primary held August 18; the general is ranked-choice. A second, unrelated Dan Sullivan was also on the primary ballot. Below: articles from the Alaska press coded to Defense (CAP major topic 16), since collection began in May 2026.
Counted: news reports and opinion columns. Not counted, though they name a candidate: letters to the editor, releases from parties, campaigns and government offices, multi-story digests, blog posts, and pages that are not articles.
21 articles are counted here; the list keeps the most recent per candidate, and drops repeats of the same headline — 8 below.
Group tags are dictionary matches over each headline and the opening of the article — the same term families as the social-group set. Articles naming no group carry none.
