On June 18, 2025, Sullivan expressed optimism regarding potential legislative advancements for Alaska's energy sector. He mentioned that "Republicans on cusp of passing the reconciliation bill w/ significant resource provisions" could lead to an "unprecedented energy renaissance" in Alaska. This development is seen as promising for both the state and its northern regions.
