In Alaska, one term Republican Dan Sullivan is running for re-election. The incumbent is being challenged by independent candidate Al Gross.
===AL Background===
Sullivan won election to the U.S. Senate in the [[2014 Midterms]], defeating [[Democrat]] then-incumbent [[Mark Begich]] during a nationwide red wave after attacking him over [[left-wing]] partisanship.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EoAn6fO5qw Dan Sullivan for Senate: Second Amendment]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xgc2GHRQFY Dan Sullivan for Senate: Roots]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pW34DdIfCvI Mark Begich's Liberal Washington Friends (TV Ad 2014)]</ref> Begich was elected to the Senate in 2008, defeating longtime Republican then-incumbent [[Ted Stevens]] after the latter faced charges marked by prosecutorial misconduct.
===AL Analysis===
While Alaska is generally considered a [[red state]], the race may potentially become closer than expected due to Sullivan's reputation as [[establishment]]-leaning in addition to Gross running as a registered [[independent voters|Independent]]. Despite the latter's self-portrayal as being "independent", Gross is backed by the Democrat establishment<ref>[https://www.dscc.org/news/dscc-endorses-dr-al-gross-in-alaska-senate-race/ DSCC Endorses Dr. Al Gross in Alaska Senate Race]</ref> and said his values "are to the left".<ref>[https://freebeacon.com/2020-election/my-values-are-to-the-left-independent-alaska-senate-candidate-tells-dnc-hes-with-them/ ‘My Values Are To The Left’: Independent Alaska Senate Candidate Tells DNC He’s With Them]</ref>
