A three-term incumbent Republican lawmaker in Alaska could be removed from office and his 24-point win in the 2022 fall election annulled because he’s a member of the Oath Keepers, according to a lawsuit brought by left-leaning political interests that went to trial on Dec. 13.
The trial in Alaska Superior Court in Palmer will determine if conservative state Rep. David Eastman should be barred from office under a loyalty clause in the Alaska Constitution because he’s an Oath Keeper and attended President Donald J. Trump’s speech at the Ellipse in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021.
