2022
Andrew Gray completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Gray's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- I plan to incentivize affordable home construction, prioritize reasonably priced long-term rental units over exorbitantly priced short-term ones, and increase services for mental health and substance misuse treatment.
- With the fall of Roe v Wade, I promise to protect reproductive freedom in Alaska where we legalized abortion in 1970 and where our supreme court ruled in 1997 that we have a right to "reproductive choice" enshrined in our constitution.
- The Permanent Fund was established by Governor Jay Hammond to provide for our state far in the future when oil revenues had decreased; I will protect the Permanent Fund for our children and grandchildren as Gov. Hammond intended. I believe in fully funding all necessary government services without overdrawing from the Fund.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
