Prisoner Runs for Alaska House Seat | Adelaide News
Description
A convicted felon serving a 2036 prison sentence in New York is somehow advancing in Alaska’s congressional primary—despite his listed address being in South Dakota and his crimes involving threats against law enforcement. He narrowly made the top four after the third-place candidate dropped out, even though he’s running against incumbent Rep. Nick Begich and independent Bill Hill. His mom also ran for Senate this year, making politics a family affair—even from behind bars. The Alaska Democratic Party tried to block him, but failed, setting up another legal showdown over whether he qualifies under the Constitution’s residency requirement.
