Little public record found for this candidate.
Background
- At the time of a 2024 Alaska Democratic Party lawsuit seeking to remove him from that year's ballot, Hafner was serving a 20-year federal prison sentence in New York for threatening elected officials, with a scheduled release in 2036.[4]
- An Alaska Superior Court judge dismissed the Alaska Democratic Party's 2024 lawsuit to remove Hafner from the ballot; the judge ruled that ranked-choice voting eliminated any claim of harm from his presence on the ballot and that the court could not weigh in on whether he would reside in Alaska by Election Day.[4]
