A lawsuit contesting Jennie Armstrong’s Alaska House win alleges she isn't qualified to be certified as a state lawmaker because she hadn't been a resident for at least three years before filing for office. Armstrong testified that that's not the case.
But Armstrong said in an affidavit as well as in court Thursday that May 20, 2019, is when she moved to Alaska. She said that is the date she and her now-husband discussed and decided she would move in with him in Anchorage.
Armstrong in her affidavit said she gave a prior Louisiana address on non-resident fishing license forms in June 2019 “because I believed that I had to list an out-of-state address to obtain a non-resident fishing license.” She said in resident fishing license applications in 2020 and 2021, she “erred on the side of caution and rounded down to only count full months” in reporting how long she had been a resident.
“So by the time you filled out this license, you had gone through the exercise of pinpointing the date for the purpose of your declaration of candidacy?” Kendall asked.“Yeah,” she responded. Superior Court Judge Herman Walker Jr. asked for written arguments from attorneys by Friday as he weighs the case.
