Wasilla Rep. David Eastman was in court Thursday morning as attorneys argued whether he had a right to remain in office.
attorneys argued whether he had a right to remain in office.
Eastman was first elected in 2016 and has represented District 10 on the northwest side of the Matanuska-Sustina Borough, covering Meadow Lakes north to Talkeetna.The purpose of Thursday’s hearing was to argue the merits of a complaint filed by the Northern Justice Project on behalf of Randall Kowalke, a constituent of Eastman’s. In the July complaint, it states Kowalke supported Eastman prior to learning about his affiliation with Oath Keepers.
“No person who advocates, or who aids or belongs to any party or organization or association which advocates, the overthrow by force or violence of the United States or of the State shall be qualified to hold any public office of trust or profit under this constitution,” reads the constitution.“I think the idea that the Oath Keepers are somehow committed to overthrowing the government is unbelievable,” Eastman said.
However, the attorney for the Division of Elections says that’s well beyond the scope of what the division can do.
