Putting Alaskans First Committee Releases "Baseless Recall" Video

The Putting Alaskans First Committee released an ad today calling the effort to recall Assembly Member Felix Rivera "sour grapes on steroids!"

The group writes that Christine Hill, who appears in the ad, holds a grudge against Anchorage voters who have rejected her twice.

The video calls Ms. Hill a "sore loser" and says that she and her "radical friends" want to recall Mr. Rivera because there were "17 people in an Assembly Meeting instead of 15."

In April 2019, Christine Hill ran against Meg Zalatel for the District 4 Assembly seat and was handily defeated 52.4% to 34.1%.

A year later, on April 7, 2020, Hill ran again, but this time against Rivera for the District G seat and lost the April general election by 179 votes. Mere months after Mr. Rivera won re-election, he would see an effort to recall him from his seat on the Assembly.

Last month, an APOC filing showed the Recall Rivera effort had enlisted Axiom Strategies — an American Republican Party political consulting firm, to aid in their efforts to remove the openly gay Assemblyman.
