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
