Alaska Democrats sue elections officials after they approved candidate who didn't disclose finances
The Alaska Democratic Party is suing the Alaska Division of Elections, alleging that officials improperly approved a Republican candidate who failed to disclose his personal finances, as required by state law.
The candidate in question is Jose Anthony Tagle, the lone challenger to Democratic incumbent Rep. Ted Eischeid in Anchorage’s House District 22.
The Alaska Democratic Party challenged Tagle’s eligibility in June after he filed a completely blank Public Officer Disclosure Form alongside his candidacy application. That form is supposed to list all income — including Permanent Fund dividends — that a candidate and their immediate family received during the previous year.
Tagle’s listed no income, including dividends. On social media, Tagle describes himself as a small-business owner, and public records list him as director and president of “Stardust Limited Liability Corp.”
