1/23
Date: May 25, 2013
To: Alaska Republican Party Chairman
Subject: Removal from the State Central Committee, Randy Ruedrich (seated as former Chair)
Regarding: Publicly advocated for the candidacy of independent write-in candidate over the Republican nominee in
the 2010 US Senate election; Used his position as Alaska Republican Party Chair to influence the outcome
of the post-election court challenge.
Attachments: Court Case: Miller v. Campbell inclusive of Ruedrich's sworn affidavit entered on behalf of Intervenor Lisa
Murkowski (begins on p.17).
Charges Against: Randy Ruedrich (Sitting Member of Central Committee and claimed ED of ARP.)
Charges: During the post-election court challenge following the 2010 general election, Randy Ruedrich acting as State
Party Chair, submitted a sworn affidavit of dubious veracity on behalf of the write-in candidate to aid and
abet the case against the Republican nominee.
Outcome Requested: Removal from the Alaska Republican Party State Central Committee and any other official role with
the Party, to include seizure of the Party email list which Mr. Ruedrich continues to use.
Facts: During the post-election court challenge following the 2010 general election, Randy Ruedrich acting as State Party
Chair, submitted a sworn affidavit of dubious veracity on behalf of the write-in candidate to aid and abet the case against the
Republican nominee. This action was undertaken a full month before the election was certified, and while the outcome was
still uncertain. For purposes of context, it is important to note that the Alaska District Federal Court had placed a stay on
certification while serious issues in State law were adjudicated.
