The Anchorage Assembly has subpoenaed four people to provide testimony on an April challenge to the city’s election.
Two of the people are former executives in Mayor Dave Bronson’s administration: Sami Graham, who once served as chief of staff, and Marc Dahl whoThe Assembly is compelling Graham, Dahl and two election observers, John Henry and Daniel Smith, to testify at a meeting Friday at City Hall.
Anchorage ombudsman Darrell Hess had been investigating Graham and Dahl, and allegations that they coordinated to try to overturn the city’s election results. The issue stems. In her complaint, she cited an unvetted IT policy dealing with the transfer of information on USB drives. In Hess’ report released last month, he said Dahl sent Graham the policy on the day of her complaint. He concluded that Dahl fed Graham information to help her formulate challenges to the city election, and he. He also sent his findings to the state Office of Special Prosecutions, citing potential violations of state elections laws.
Bronson later requested Dahl’s resignation, though he has maintained that he doesn’t think Dahl did anything illegal. Assembly members say they still have a lot of questions about the election challenge, including whether any other Bronson executives were involved and whether city election laws need to be revised to prevent further “subversion.”Share this story:
