Tried to get elected (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ran

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">tried to get elected</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for ran that I've seen before include "Took to one's heels" , "Went fast" , "Administered" , "Sprinted" , "Was candidate" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
