2020 U.S. Senate election in Alaska
Gross announced in early July 2019 his run for United States Senate as a registered independent.[2] He received the backing of the campaign arm of the Democrat establishment later that year.[3] This was after the Democrats had failed to successfully recruit a strong candidate from their party to challenge Sen. Sullivan and sued to merge other parties' primary into one election along with theirs'.[Citation Needed]
Gross won the Democrat/Libertarian/Alaskan Independence primary held on August 18, 2020[4] with 74% of the vote.[5]
