This screenshot from the website of the Alaska Court System shows Representative-elect Jennie Armstrong testifying Thursday, Dec. 22, 2022, during an evidentiary hearing. Armstrong is defending against a lawsuit that alleges she is ineligible to serve in the Alaska Legislature.
If Armstrong loses the case, she could be disqualified from office despite winning the election. That would result in someone else filling the seat. During that testimony, Armstrong described how she accepted Kellie’s invitation to come to Alaska in May on a road trip and decided during that trip to stay in the state and move in with him.
They also cite fishing license applications from 2019, 2020 and 2021 in which Armstrong lists her residency as beginning in June. Her defense team introduced contemporary text messages and additional social media posts in which Armstrong said she moved to Alaska in May.
