A House candidate, Eric Hafner, was convicted in 2022 for threatening judges and police officers.
A man currently serving a 20-year jail sentence in New York recently got on a ballot in Alaska.On Wednesday, Eric Hafner made it onto Alaska's ballot for the state's lone House seat in the 2024 election. Hafner was convicted in 2022 for making threats to kill judges, police officers and others, receiving a 20-year federal prison sentence. He originally finished sixth in Alaska's ranked-choice primary, which advances only the top four vote-getters to the general election.
In Alaska, there are currently no state laws that prohibit a felon from running in elections, allowing Hafner and former President Donald Trump to appear on ballots in the 2024 election.However, state law mandates that a U.S. representative must reside in Alaska. Hafner, who has no known ties to the state, is currently serving time at a federal prison in Otisville, New York, with a release date set for October 12, 2036, according to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.
