On January 3, 2026, Districts 27 and 28 of the Alaska Republican Party received formal charges against Senator Rob Yundt pursuant to Article VII of the Alaska Republican Party Rules.
According to the Alaska Republican Party Rules: “Any candidate or elected official may be sanctioned or censured for any of the following
reasons:
(a) Failure to follow the Party Platform.
(b) Engagement in any activities prohibited by or contrary to these rules or RNC Rules.
(c) Failure to carry out or perform the duties of their office.
(d) Engaging in prohibited discrimination.
(e) Forming a majority caucus in which non-Republicans are at least 1/3 or more of the
coalition.
(f) Engaging in other activities that may be reasonably assessed as bringing dishonor to
the ARP, such as commission of a serious crime.”
Party Rules require the signatures of at least 3 registered Republican constituents for official charges to be filed. The formal charges were signed by registered Republican voters and District N constitutions Jerad McClure, Thomas W. Oels, Janice M. Norman, and Manda Gershon.
Yundt is charged with “failure to adhere and uphold the Alaska Republican Party Platform” and “engaging in conduct contrary to the principles and priorities of the Alaska Republican Party Rules.” The constituents request: “Senator Rob Yundt be provided proper notice of the charges and a full and fair opportunity to respond; and that, upon a finding by the required two-thirds (2/3) vote of the District Committees that the charges are valid, the Committees impose the maximum sanctions authorized under Article VII.”
If the Party finds Yundt guilty of the charges, Yundt may be disciplined with formal censure by the Alaska Republican Party, declaration of ineligibility for Party endorsement, withdrawal of political support, prohibition from participating in certain Party activities, and official and public declaration that Yundt’s conduct and voting record contradict the Party’s values and priorities.
Reasons for the charges are based on Yundt’s active support of House Bill 57, Senate Bill 113, and Senate Bill 92. Constituents who filed the charges argue that HB 57 opposes the Alaska Republican Party Platform by “expanding government surveillance and dramatically increasing education spending;” that SB 113 opposes the Party’s Platform by “impos[ing] new tax burdens on Alaskan consumers and small businesses;” and that SB 92 opposes the Party by “proposing a targeted 9.2% tax on major private-sector energy producer supplying natural gas to Southcentral Alaska.” Although the filed charges state that SB 92 proposes a 9.2% tax, the bill actually proposes a 9.4% tax on income from oil and gas production and transportation.
Many Alaskan conservatives have expressed frustration with Senator Yundt’s legislative decisions. Some, like Marcy Sowers, consider Yundt more like “a tax-loving social justice warrior” than a conservative.
Tundra has been a wolf in sheep’s clothing from day one. He definitely needs to go, just like Kathy Geisel. Nuff said!!!
Notice how Sen Rob Yundt only uses his personal social media? Convenient you might think but there’s a reason to do so. Legislators are not allowed to block negative commenters or those who disagree with them on a regular basis. What Mr Yundt is doing is the lie of omission. He is very likely blocking those who disagree with him. Very sneaky, very subtle, and very dishonest. If he is not, then I challenge him to create a Sen Rob Yundt FB page where he must allow everyone to comment under threat of being sued. I believe this happened to former Sen Reinbold in Eagle River. I bet you he will not do so.
Another clown sent to Juneau, what a circus!
It never fails to amaze me how the less brilliant among us are the ones sent to Juneau.
Anybody with decency is cheated out by the vote apparatus or is busy at home working.
Why didn’t they censure Click Bishop when he was in the Senate? Yundt wasn’t half as bad as the Democrat Bishop?
So when will like-minded party members issue similar letter to the ARL for his co-criminals, as Cathy Giessel, et. al. Take ‘em all out!
What does Senator Yundt have to say about this subject? You have left out his response and only presented one side of the story.
The Alaskan GOP is weak and lacking in leadership. Democrats have infested it and the leadership looks the other way. We vote for Republicans but get liberal democrats.
I’ve said for years the Alaska GOP is useless and as the Brit’s say, not fit for purpose.
Nothing will change until the “ leadership” is tossed out completely, their apparatus burnt to the ground, and rebuilt in full.
This group of lovable losers in not lovable. But they are exceptionally good at losing.
