A state judge has ruled that Jennifer “Jennie” Armstrong, an Anchorage Democrat who won a November state House race, meets residency requirements to take office.
An Anchorage Democrat who won a November state House race meets residency requirements to take office, a judge ruled Monday.more than two weeks after hearing the case challenging Democrat Jennifer “Jennie” Armstrong’s eligibility to serve in the Legislature, and just over a week before the new legislative session begins.
In the lawsuit, Vazquez, who served in the House from 2015-2017, asked that Walker declare Vazquez the winner of the November election. Under the state constitution, to serve in the legislature one must be a “qualified voter who has been a resident of Alaska for at least three years and of the district from which elected for at least one year, immediately preceding his filing for office.”Armstrong said in court proceedings and in an affidavit that she moved to Alaska on May 20, 2019. She said that is the date she and her now-husband discussed and decided she would move in with him in Anchorage.
