Julie Fate: Who is Dan Sullivan’s wife?

Both Fate and Sullivan attended Georgetown and met there. Fate was a staffer for Senator Ted Stevens, a Republican from Alaska, at the time. The couple eventually married in 1994 in Fate’s hometown of Fairbanks, Alaska.

The couple has three teenage daughters named Meghan, Isabella, and Laurel. The family likes to spend a lot of time together and is very outdoorsy.

Fate grew up in Alaska as part of a traditional Athabaskan family that dates back generations. Her mother, Mary Jane Fate, was co-chair of the Alaska Federation of Natives, and her father, Bud Fate, is a former Republican state legislator and dentist.

When the couple first met, Fate recalls that her family immediately took a liking to him and tried to give him an idea of their lifestyle. According to her, “I think my dad, the first thing he did was hand Dan a shovel. Put him to work digging our outhouse.”
