Tribal consortium takes ownership of Alaska Native Medical Center
Days after the state disqualified and then reinstated a candidate for governor over his financial disclosure, five sitting Alaska legislators and 2026 candidates amended their own filings with the Alaska Public Offices Commission this week.
The context is a statewide review of candidate disclosures the Department of Law is running. That review is what led Lt. Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom to briefly refuse to certify Treg Taylor last week, after the commission found his disclosure incomplete, before she reversed course citing "numerous potential discrepancies" in filings across the field. Whether that review prompted this week's amendments is not established in the record, and the filings themselves do not say.
What they added ranges from a house to a spouse's last name.
Rep. 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," he wrote. His March filing had listed three business interests, stock in Apple, Nestle and Walmart, and no real property, while separately reporting a $250,000 loan tied to a Grumman Street address in Anchorage.
Rep. Genevieve Mina amended both her 2026 candidate disclosure and her 2025 report Monday, adding an Anchorage house and describing the change as "updating interests." A separate complaint about her disclosure, filed last November by a complainant who lodged several against officials that month, remains under APOC review; nothing connects it to this week's amendment.
The rest were narrower. Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins, who is on the November ballot for governor, added board-director positions at two Alaska nonprofits, Outer Coast in Sitka and the Alaska Fellows Program. Rep. Julie Coulombe added her spouse's last name and a property address. Sen. George Rauscher corrected a date range and updated a spouse's retirement listing.
Alaska's disclosure laws exist so voters can see officials' financial interests and watch for conflicts with their public duties. Sitting legislators and non-incumbent candidates file under different statutes, but both cover real property and business interests.
The Department of Law had posted nothing about its review as of this week.
