Wow this is quite the read and kudos to Dan Sullivan taking the high road.

As one politico put it, Alan Gross was “born in the wake of an avalanche and his political career ended in the wake of a landslide.”
From the start, it was obvious the Alan Gross campaign was going to go negative against Sen. Dan Sullivan, who is completing his first term as Alaska’s U.S. senator.
Porcaro
But just how negative he would go was difficult to gauge last year, when Gross began his unlikely quest for the Senate.
No one could guess it could get so ugly or so personal. Gross and his third party helpers such as the Lincoln Project spent $36 million — more money than any candidate in Alaska Senate race history. Sullivan and third party helper groups had just $16 million to fight off the attacks. In the end, Gross in 2020 will end up with just 41 percent of the vote.
