Alaska Rep. Sarah Vance faces ethics probe for using state letterhead to pressure a newspaper, violating new laws on partisan use of state resources.
Alaska Representative Sarah Vance is under ethics investigation for using state letterhead to pressure a newspaper to drop a complaint against her, a move critics say violates updated state laws banning partisan use of state resources.
Vance, who declined to comment, defended the action citing a 1984 ethics opinion and called the probe "lawfare," waiving confidentiality to promote transparency.
The incident followed her letter and the newspaper’s response, leading to staff departures at Carpenter Media’s Alaska outlets and the creation of the nonprofit Homer Independent Press, which Vance supports as a boost for local journalism.
