Alaska Republican Party formally pulls support from 3 of its own

The Alaska Republican Party on Saturday {December 10} sent a strong message to defectors.

Voting members of the party's State Central Committee overwhelmingly chose to no longer support three of its own who last month joined a majority Democrat coalition that will lead the Alaska House.

Those three are Reps. Gabrielle LeDoux of Anchorage, Paul Seaton of Homer and Louise Stutes of Kodiak.

With the party voting 56-4 to withdraw support for them, the Alaska Republican Party and all associated clubs and districts can't donate money to their re-election campaigns. It also means the party is allowed to recruit candidates to challenge those three representatives in the future.
