Mike Dunleavy, the Republican governor of Alaska, could be facing recall in a special election after a state judge ruled that the effort to oust him could move forward on Friday.

Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy could be facing recall in a special election, after a state judge ruled that the effort to oust him over a host of alleged abuses of power could move forward Friday.

"This court declines to restrict the voter's right to affirmatively step into, admonish and disapprove of an elected official's conduct in office, as they have a right to do," said Aarseth in the ruling. "Today we stood our ground to defend Alaskans' right to Recall Dunleavy, marking a critical step in advancing this historic, bipartisan movement," said Recall Dunleavy's Meda DeWitt in a news release."This governor has acted illegally and made unconscionable decisions; we are working towards a stronger future for all Alaskans."likening

Taxpayer money is not to be used for re-election campaigns. Even restitution won’t save him! I’m a republican, but I don’t support this action!

They’re stealing (or ‘misusing’ as the ms media so often puts it, when there’s a politician involved) money so often, it seems to be some kind fad for Republicans now. Maybe it’s somewhere in their job description and the print’s so small the rest of us just never noticed before.

Alaska is beautiful country tho. Not really on topic I know sorry

Why doesn't he just pay back the $5?

The recall is because he promised his trump supporting followers that he would pay them a “full PFD”...$3000. Which is socialism. Among other lies, but even people who voted him in want him out (because they didn’t get their socialist money). I live here btw.

Judge allows effort to recall Alaska governor to proceedThe recall effort claims that Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy violated the law by not appointing a judge within a required time frame, misused state funds for partisan online ads and mailers, and improperly used his veto authority. This Alaskan is happy to see this. He courted vulnerable voters (trump supporters) with promises of extra oil money (socialism). Can we just give Alaska to Canada. Enough already. DOUCHE
