Print article Staff at the Alaska Public Offices Commission are recommending that defeated Anchorage Republican Rep. Lance Pruitt be fined at least $10,222.50 for multiple violations of state law during Alaska’s 2016 and 2018 legislative elections. Any fine must be approved by the five-member commission, which will meet Jan. 13. “Staff recommends that the Commission find that Pruitt’s 2016 and 2018 campaign for House District 27 violated provisions of AS 15.13 by failing to accurately report incurred expenditures as debt, failing to provide information detailing media advertising placement and consulting services rendered, failing to timely reimburse personal funds or report the use of personal funds as contributions, and failing to return two prohibited contributions,” says a report issued Tuesday.
