Candidate for Alaska House doesn't live in Alaska

JUNEAU, Alaska — Carol Hafner is on the Democratic primary ballot for an Alaska U.S. House seat.

She doesn't live in Alaska. In fact, she's never been to the state. Hafner, who listed New Jersey and South Dakota addresses in her candidate filing, says she's serious about running, though she doesn't plan to campaign in person.

Democratic officials are questioning her authenticity and political affiliation.

Under the U.S. Constitution, to serve in Congress one must meet age and citizenship requirements and inhabit the state at the time elected. Generally, Alaska candidates in such races are from the state. But not always. (snip)

Hafner listed on her candidacy filing a home and mailing address in New Jersey. She also listed an address at a mail-drop location in South Dakota popular with RVers and others with more transient lifestyles as her campaign contact on Alaska's website listing of candidates. Public records show property and voter registration records for Hafner in New Jersey.

The New Jersey addresses match those used by Eric Hafner during a failed run as a Democrat in an Oregon U.S. House primary earlier this year, which caught the attention of Julie Olsen, an Anchorage Democratic party leader. She said she was worried that Eric Hafner had "hijacked" Carol Hafner's identity and created an online persona to file for office. Olsen supports Shein.

Hafner, 64, said Eric Hafner is her son. She said he also ran unsuccessfully in the Republican primary for a U.S. House seat in Hawaii in 2016. Efforts to reach him were unsuccessful.

“Hillary was elected to the senate in New York and she wasn’t a resident.”

Don’t forget! The seat was a shoe-in for John Kennedy Jr. and then...

...Oops! He died. Mysteriously. And took his witnesses with him.

I’m not much of a conspiracy theorist, but I’ll make an exception for that. ANYTHING involving that beotch and her quest for POWER is suspect.

I think she’s taking book from Maxine Waters. Waters doesn’t live in her voting area either.

If that’s all the Demonrats have, Don Young is a shoe-in in November.

Sounds like the whole family just makes a living off of campaign contributions and they’ve never won a race so they don’t even have to do any other work but campaigning and don’t even take that seriously. What a gig
