Tagle’s Ballot Disqualification Threat | Anchorage News

An Anchorage legislative candidate, Jose Tagle, may be disqualified from the general election after failing to submit timely financial disclosures, sparking a legal and political firestorm. The Alaska Public Offices Commission (APOC) recommended his disqualification because his initial form showed zero income or assets — despite owning a small business — and his later amendment came too late. The Alaska Democratic Party filed a complaint, pushing the Division of Elections to follow APOC’s ruling. If Tagle is removed, incumbent Ted Eischeid would face no opposition in East Anchorage. This isn’t an isolated case — APOC also recommended disqualifying two other top candidates, Governor Treg Taylor and Lt. Gov. Dean Hickel, for similar disclosure failures, highlighting how critical accurate financial reporting is for candidates.
