Randall Kowalke's attorney said in a court filing today that he does not intend to appeal the Superior Court ruling that state Rep. David Eastman is not disqualified from holding office by being a member of the Oath Keepers.
Rep. David Eastman, R-Wasilla, speaks on the floor of the Alaska House of Representatives on Monday, May 2, 2022 at the Alaska State Capitol in Juneau.
In a court filing Tuesday, Goriune Dudukgian, an attorney for Randall Kowalke, said he does not intend to appeal the decision from Superior Court Judge Jack McKenna that . McKenna had stayed his order pending a possible appeal. Last month, McKenna found that while Eastman is a member of the Oath Keepers, he “does not and did not possess a specific intent to further the Oath Keepers’ words or actions aimed at overthrowing the United States government.”
Dudukgian said Kowalke’s side was also mindful that nationwide, only a small number of cases have been filed challenging eligibility to serve in office related to the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection, and “we didn’t want to create that law or make it difficult for future challenges.”
