Dr. Jeff Gunter's U.S. Senate Campaign and Involvement in Sketchy Infomercials
Dr. Jeff Gunter, a wealthy dermatologist and former U.S. ambassador to Iceland, is running for the U.S. Senate in Nevada as the 'America First' candidate. He was involved in sketchy late-night infomercials selling anti-wrinkle skin serum that led to a man getting infected with a terrible disease. Gunter is facing decorated combat veteran Captain Sam Brown in the Republican primary, with Gunter self-funding his campaign despite trailing significantly in the polls.
