Flags to be Flown at Half-Staff in Honor of Former Legislator Clark Gruening
Governor Dunleavy ordered flags to be flown at half-staff August 8th in honor of Clark Gruening in accordance with the family’s wishes.
“Rose and I are saddened by the passing of Clark Gruening. He came from a long legacy of public service and devoted much of his life to Alaska’s future,” said Governor Dunleavy. “We extend our deepest sympathies to his family and all who knew him.”
Gruening served in the Alaska House of Representatives from 1975 to 1978, representing Anchorage. A grandson of former territorial governor and U.S. Senator Ernest Gruening, he continued the family’s legacy of civic leadership and public service. A graduate of the University of Oregon and George Washington University Law School, Gruening also ran for U.S. Senate in 1980.
