Wasilla District 28 Republicans passed a resolution asking Sen. David Wilson to reverse his decision to join the caucus dominated by Democrats in the Alaska Senate.
In the resolution, Sen. Wilson is described as having engaged in actions detrimental to the Alaska Republican Party and to Republican values and goals by his leaving the Republican caucus and joining a caucus in which Democrats hold the majority, when a Republican majority was elected to the Senate.
Last month, District 27 Republicans also passed a resolution, with the demand that Wilson remove himself from the Democrat-dominated majority caucus, which awarded him the chairmanship of the Health and Social Services Committee in exchange for his membership in the binding caucus.
The resolution says that Wilson has abandoned his Republican colleagues from the Mat-Su. In fact, both Sen. Shelley Hughes and Sen. Mike Shower have been excluded from the Democrat-majority caucus.
“David Wilson has joined a leftist controlled coalition that is fundamentally at odds with the interests of residents of the Mat-Su Valley,” the Republican grassroots group said, as it asked him to make his decision by 5 pm on Deb. 9. If not, it asks him to refund the $4,000 contributed to his campaign by the Alaska Republican Party.
