The race is tight and has faced a series of eccentric controversies.
With just weeks to go before the November election, a sleeper U.S. Senate race in a deeply Republican state is starting to garner some attention.
Gross and his campaign recently faced accusations that he didn’t actually kill that grizzly. However, a newly released report from the Alaska Department of Public Safety would appear to back him up. “Any suggestion otherwise is either wishful thinking, a blatant mischaracterization, or a desperate attempt to secure funding for a mine that cannot move forward,” Sullivan said in a statement.
“You’ve been calling me a liberal this whole campaign, and I’m sick of that. You’re making up lies and falsehoods,” Gross said to Sullivan. “I’m a lot more fiscally conservative than you’ll ever be, with your tax cuts to your billionaire brother, and your father, and other superrich people.” Asked about the critique, Sullivan’s campaign manager, Matt Shuckerow, pointed out that the senator has criticized Beijing but “hasn’t said that people can’t do business in China.”
Despite his status as a registered independent, Gross won the Democratic nomination and is on the ballot for the general election as a Democratic candidate. Mike Carey, a columnist and former editorial page director for the Anchorage Daily News, said the party affiliation issue is a “big problem” for Gross.
