Five Alaska legislators and candidates amend financial disclosures in two days

Five sitting Alaska legislators and 2026 candidates filed six amended financial disclosures with the Alaska Public Offices Commission this week, adding two Anchorage houses, two nonprofit board seats and a spouse's last name.

Representative Andrew Gray of House District 20 filed Tuesday to add a home his earlier report left off. "Add my personal residence as an asset, currently I only have the mortgage declared," Gray wrote. His March 15 filing had listed three business interests, stock in Apple, Nestle and Walmart, and no real property, while separately reporting a loan tied to a Grumman Street address in Anchorage, with an original amount of $250,000, a balance of $206,475.08 and a rate of 2.25 percent. The property he added gives its address as "not reported," a field the form allows to be left blank.

Representative Genevieve Mina filed twice Monday, amending both her 2026 candidate disclosure and her 2025 report, adding a house at 134 N Park St in Anchorage. She described the filings as "Updating interests." A November 2025 complaint about her disclosure remains under APOC investigation, one of several the same complainant filed against officials that month.

Other amendments were narrower. Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins, a statewide candidate, added director positions at Outer Coast in Sitka and the Alaska Fellows Program in Fairbanks. Representative Julie Coulombe added her spouse's last name, now listed as Marc Coulombe, and one property address. Senator George Rauscher corrected an income entry's date range and updated a spouse retirement plan listing to State of Alaska PERS. Kreiss-Tomkins is on the November ballot for governor.

Disclosure rules differ by role: sitting legislators file under AS 24.60.200-260, while non-incumbent candidates file under AS 39.50, covering real property and business interests held as director, owner or partner. The statute states voters have a right to know officials' financial interests to watch for conflicts with public duty.

The amendments arrive as the Department of Law conducts a statewide review of candidate disclosures, though the record does not establish whether that review prompted these filings. The department's press page, checked Tuesday, carried no release on the review; its most recent posting is dated Sept. 2
