Alaska Representative David Eastman (R-Wasilla) was re-elected this month. Consequently, a lawsuit challenging his eligibility to serve as a legislator, based on his membership in the Oath Keepers, will move ahead this month. The lawsuit was filed on July 29, 2022, but it was delayed because no one could know if he was going to be re-elected. He was re-elected with 51.3% of the vote.
The case is Kowalke v Eastman, Superior Court, 3rd district, 3AN-22-07404. The Alaska Constitution, Article XII, sec. 4, says, “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 the Constitution.”
Eastman is a life-member of Oath Keepers, and he was at the national capitol on January 6, 2021. Here is a link to documents in the case.
Nice to see the insurrectionists getting their karma returned to them!! This guy shouldn’t be anywhere near public office, and he is clearly disqualified according to Alaska state constitution!! Oath keepers, proud boys, peoples rights network, all are domestic terror organizations and should be shunned by all civilized society!! This guy marches to the same drum beat as Ammon bundy, both men are criminals and use fear and terror to achieve their goal!!
