The Alaska Public Offices Commission shot down assembly member Debbie White’s complaint against her former, and potentially future colleague.
White claimed Karen Crane’s use of an old assembly photo violated state campaign law, and that its use misleadingly suggested the other assembly members’ endorsement.
Crane said she was happy with the commission’s swift response.
“The matter is removed from the table. I did not believe there was anything either implied or directly stated that showed (it) was an endorsement,” Crane said.
White said rejection of the complaint doesn’t make Crane’s use of the photo ethical.
Crane is running against Ken Koelsch in the March 15 special election.
