Members of the Alaska House's coalition majority are considering taking action against Wasilla state Rep. David Eastman, a 'life member' of the Oath Keepers group linked to the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot:
without evidence that women in rural villages try to get pregnant so they can get a free trip to a city for an abortion. It was the first time the House had ever censured one of its members.“They censured him. He’s like, ‘Big deal, I’ll just stand here and listen to it — I don’t care.’ If they censured him again, it still it wouldn’t do anything,” he said.
House Minority Leader Cathy Tilton, R-Wasilla, said she’s had one conversation with House Speaker Louise Stutes, R-Kodiak, about the issue. But Tilton’s Republican minority caucus has not discussed the issue internally, she added. Rep. Laddie Shaw, R-Anchorage and a minority member of the House, said he also has been informed of the Eastman discussions but declined to share his opinion on what he thinks should be done.
If Eastman runs for re-election — he has filed documents saying he intends to do so — the Alaska Division of Elections will be required to determine whether he is qualified. The division occasionally disqualifies potential candidates who fail to meet residency standards, and it wasn’t immediately clear whether the division has ever considered the disloyalty clause.
