COMPLAINT AND EXPEDITED APPLICATION TO COMPEL


CORRECTION OF ERRORS IN REDISTRICTING

Plaintiffs Louis Theiss, Ken Waugh, and Jennifer Wingard (“Girdwood

Plaintiffs”) allege the following:

PARTIES

1. Plaintiff Louis Theiss is a resident of House District 9 and Senate District

E, as designated by the April 13, 2022, proclamation of the Board, and a qualified voter

of the State of Alaska.

2. Plaintiff Ken Waugh is a resident of House District 9 and Senate District E,

as designated by the April 13, 2022, proclamation of the Board, and a qualified voter of

the State of Alaska.

3. Plaintiff Jennifer Wingard is a resident of House District 9 and Senate

District E, as designated by the April 13, 2022, proclamation of the Board, and a qualified

voter of the State of Alaska.

4. Defendant Alaska Redistricting Board is an entity established by article VI,

section 8 of the Alaska Constitution.

Page 1 of 11
5. This is a civil action concerning the establishment, protection, or

enforcement of a right under the Alaska Constitution or United States Constitution within

the meaning of AS 09.60.010(c).

JURISDICTION AND VENUE

6. This Court has jurisdiction over this action pursuant to article VI, section

11 of the Alaska Constitution.

7. Venue is proper in the Third Judicial District under Civil Rule 3 because

Plaintiffs reside, and Defendant is headquartered, in this district.

GENERAL ALLEGATIONS

8. The Board is responsible for periodically redistricting the Alaska House of

Representatives and the Alaska Senate, following the completion of the decennial United

States Census. The Board adopts a proposed plan or plans, considers public testimony,

and then adopts a final plan in accordance with the requirements of article VI of the

Alaska Constitution, Title 15 of the Alaska Statutes, and precedent from the Alaska

Supreme Court. Among other criteria, Senate districts must be “composed as near as

practicable of two contiguous house districts.” Additionally, “[c]onsideration may be

given to local government boundaries[,]” and “[d]rainage and other geographic features

shall be used in describing boundaries wherever possible.”

9. On November 10, 2021, the Board issued a Final Proclamation of

Redistricting (“2021 Proclamation”) that adopted a final redistricting plan (“2021 Plan”).

COMPLAINT AND EXPEDITED APPLICATION TO COMPEL CORRECTION OF ERRORS IN


REDISTRICTING
ITMO 2021 Redistricting Plan, Case No. 3AN-21-08869 CI Page 2 of 11
The 2021 Plan included a Statewide Map and, among others, a map of the Anchorage

area that included the Senate pairings for the Anchorage house districts.

10. The 2021 Proclamation was challenged by several plaintiff groups, and

those challenges were consolidated into 3AN-21-08869 CI. The plaintiff group known

as the “East Anchorage Plaintiffs” challenged Senate District K, which was composed of

the South Muldoon and Eagle River Valley House Districts. The East Anchorage

Plaintiffs alleged, among other defects, that the pairing of South Muldoon with Eagle

River Valley was an unconstitutional gerrymander because it split two communities of

interest (Muldoon and Eagle River), each of which could have supported its own Senate

district, with the goal of increasing Eagle River’s representation.

11. This Court took evidence on all challenges at trial and issued Findings of

Fact and Conclusions of Law on February 16, 2022. As relevant to this Complaint, it

concluded that the Senate District K pairing was an unconstitutional gerrymander. It

found that Eagle River and Muldoon were each “communities of interest,” and that there

was no reason to split them and pair an Eagle River district with a Muldoon district—

except as a means to enhance the influence of Eagle River in the senate by giving it de

facto control over two senate seats. The Court’s finding was supported by the statement

of Board Member Bethany Marcum that pairing the two Eagle River house districts with

urban districts in Anchorage would give Eagle River “more representation.” The Court

found that districting to benefit a particular geographic area, at the expense of the fair

representation of other areas, was an unconstitutional gerrymander. The Court ordered a

COMPLAINT AND EXPEDITED APPLICATION TO COMPEL CORRECTION OF ERRORS IN


REDISTRICTING
ITMO 2021 Redistricting Plan, Case No. 3AN-21-08869 CI Page 3 of 11
remand to the Board, directing it to “craft a pairing that complies with Alaska’s Equal

Protection Clause.”

12. The Alaska Redistricting Board and four of the plaintiff groups in this

action sought review of this Court’s ruling in the Alaska Supreme Court. On March 18,

2022, the Alaska Supreme Court held oral argument and on March 25, 2022, it issued an

interim order regarding the five petitions with a formal opinion to follow. As relevant to

this Complaint, the Court affirmed the “superior court’s determination that the Board’s

Senate K pairing of house districts constituted an unconstitutional political gerrymander

violating equal protection under the Alaska Constitution,” and affirmed the superior

court’s remand order to correct that constitutional error. The Alaska Supreme Court

remanded the matter to this Court to effectuate its ruling, and this Court remanded to the

Board, retaining jurisdiction to address any further issues.

13. On remand, the Board set an extensive schedule of public meetings,

insisting that it could not merely implement the courts’ directives, but instead had to listen

to additional public testimony before taking action.

14. Early in the remand proceedings, there was a motion to adopt the

Anchorage senate pairings that had been proposed by Board Member Bahnke, which were

the only other pairings that the Board had formally considered before it adopted the

pairing that was ultimately held to be an unconstitutional gerrymander, and which had

effectively received this Court’s stamp of approval. The motion failed, with certain Board

members stating they now wished to consider other alternatives and hear from the public.

REDISTRICTING
ITMO 2021 Redistricting Plan, Case No. 3AN-21-08869 CI Page 4 of 11
15. The Board subsequently considered three pairings. While all of the pairings

preserved Muldoon in one senate district, they did not all keep Eagle River in one Senate

district. Plan 1 represented the pairings proposed by Member Bahnke before the

unconstitutional pairings were adopted. Plan 2 consolidated the Eagle River community

of interest into one senate district and kept neighboring communities through the

Municipality of Anchorage such as Girdwood and South Anchorage together. Plan 3B

again split the Eagle River community of interest, pairing South Eagle River (House

District 24) with Ship Creek/Government Hill/JBER/Northeast Anchorage (House

District 23) into Senate District L, and pairing South Eagle River (now House District 10)

with South Anchorage/Girdwood/Whittier (House District 9) into Senate District E. True

and correct copies of these plans are attached as Exhibit 1 (Plan 1), Exhibit 2 (Plan 2),

and Exhibit 3 (Plan 3B).

16. On April 6, 2022, the Board rejected Plan 1 and adopted Plans 2 and 3B for

consideration. The Board incorrectly interpreted the Court’s order as holding only the

fracturing of the Muldoon community to be unconstitutional, and disregarded this Court’s

express ruling that it was unconstitutional for the Board to “split Eagle River districts to

give Eagle River the opportunity for more representation[.]”

17. The Board received extensive public testimony regarding the two plans.

The weight of the testimony favored Plan 2. There was also substantial testimony in favor

of Plan 1 by members of the public who may not have fully understood the Board’s

process on remand but advocated for a single Eagle River Senate district. Many

COMPLAINT AND EXPEDITED APPLICATION TO COMPEL CORRECTION OF ERRORS IN


REDISTRICTING
ITMO 2021 Redistricting Plan, Case No. 3AN-21-08869 CI Page 5 of 11
individuals testified that the Board should follow the directives from the Court on remand

and pair the two Eagle River districts together.

18. There was substantial public testimony against 3B’s proposed pairing of

Eagle River with South Anchorage, Girdwood, and Whittier. Some of the testimony

emphasized the geography, explaining that the areas are separated by a mountain range

and hundreds of square miles of uninhabited territory in Chugach State Park. Many

testifiers pointed out that the Board would be creating a senate district out of two house

districts that were, for all practical purposes, separated by several other intervening Senate

districts.

19. Other members of the public, including Girdwood residents, emphasized

the inappropriateness of pairing Girdwood with an Eagle River district. They testified that

the pairing made no sense, was untenable, that the two areas were politically, culturally,

and economically different, and that the pairing would benefit Eagle River only while

depriving Girdwood of its voice. They also testified Girdwood was naturally connected

to South Anchorage—that residents of those areas lived, shopped, and recreated together

in a way that Girdwood and Eagle River did not. While the Board received a handful of

comments advocating for a Girdwood-Eagle River pairing, those comments were cursory,

providing little to no factual rationale for their support; where factual detail was provided,

it relied on vague similarities such as “fire danger” and “bears.”

20. On April 5, 2022, the Girdwood Board of Supervisors (“GBOS”) passed a

resolution in support of Plan 1 and Plan 2, and against Plan 3. The resolution explained

COMPLAINT AND EXPEDITED APPLICATION TO COMPEL CORRECTION OF ERRORS IN


REDISTRICTING
ITMO 2021 Redistricting Plan, Case No. 3AN-21-08869 CI Page 6 of 11
that the pairing of Girdwood with Eagle River in Plan 3 “does not combine communities

of similar interests, nor in any meaningful sense are the house districts contiguous,

requiring traversing the width of the roadless Chugach Mountain Range to get from the

northern to southern communities.” A true and correct copy of the resolution, which was

submitted to the Board, is attached as Exhibit 4.

21. On April 12, the Anchorage Assembly passed a resolution in support of

Plan 2 and against Plan 3, stating that Plan 2 involved “highly contiguous pairings that

maintain communities of interest, keeping neighbors with neighbors,” and noting that

during the recent municipal reapportionment process, “residents from Eagle River, South

Anchorage and Girdwood spoke out overwhelmingly against proposals that would

combine these communities with scores of comments opposing the combination[.]” The

resolution further commented that “Option 3B offers pairings with only second-class

contiguity that connects Chugiak with Government Hill and Downtown, Eagle River with

Girdwood, Portage, and Whittier which all have substantial geographic barriers including

the Chugach Front Range Mountains, the federally secured borders of JBER, and in some

cases hours of highway time[.]” A true and correct copy of this resolution, which was

provided to the Board, is attached as Exhibit 5.

22. On April 13, after public testimony had concluded, the Board discussed the

plans. The alleged justification for again giving Eagle River two Senate districts in Plan

3B, in spite of the Court’s ruling that Eagle River was a community of interest that should

be kept together, was that because some members of the military lived in Eagle River,

COMPLAINT AND EXPEDITED APPLICATION TO COMPEL CORRECTION OF ERRORS IN


REDISTRICTING
ITMO 2021 Redistricting Plan, Case No. 3AN-21-08869 CI Page 7 of 11
House District 24 needed to be paired with House District 23, which the pro-3B Board

members newly termed the “Military District.” The pro-3B Board members attempted to

draw tenuous connections between House District 9 and 10, such as their size and

somewhat more rural character. Members Nicole Borromeo and Melanie Bahnke

strenuously objected to Plan 3B as yet another partisan gerrymander designed to give

Eagle River two senators, to the detriment of other communities of interest and contrary

to the weight of the public testimony. Over their objections, the Board voted to adopt Plan

3B, with Members Budd Simpson, John Binkley, and Bethany Marcum voting in favor

and Members Borromeo and Bahnke against.

23. The Board subsequently issued an Amended Proclamation of Redistricting

(“2022 Proclamation”), which paired House District 10 (Eagle River) with House District

9 (South Girdwood/Whittier/South Anchorage), and House District 23 (Ship

Creek/Government Hill/JBER/Northeast Anchorage) with House District 24 (Eagle

River). The Board submitted a copy of the 2022 Proclamation to the Court together with

its status report on April 15, 2022. True and correct copies of the Proclamation’s

Anchorage and Eagle River Senate pairing maps are attached as Exhibit 6.

COUNT I
VIOLATION OF REDISTRICTING CRITERIA

24. Plaintiffs incorporate all preceding allegations into this Count.

25. Article VI, section 6 of the Alaska Constitution provides that “[e]ach senate

district shall be composed as near as practicable of two contiguous house districts.

COMPLAINT AND EXPEDITED APPLICATION TO COMPEL CORRECTION OF ERRORS IN


REDISTRICTING
ITMO 2021 Redistricting Plan, Case No. 3AN-21-08869 CI Page 8 of 11
Consideration may be given to local government boundaries. Drainage and other

geographic features shall be used in describing boundaries wherever possible.”

26. Senate districts are also required to incorporate a measure of compactness.

27. By pairing Eagle River with South Anchorage, Girdwood, and Whittier, the

Board ignored geographic features, compactness, and true contiguity, instead favoring a

“false contiguity” and a sprawling district over other pairings that would have been more

practicably contiguous and compact, in violation of article VI, section 6.

COUNT II
VIOLATION OF EQUAL PROTECTION

28. Plaintiffs incorporate all preceding allegations into this Count.

29. Article I, section 1 of the Alaska Constitution provides that all persons are

equal and entitled to equal rights, opportunities, and protection under the law.

30. Senate District E in the 2022 Proclamation denies Girdwood voters, and

other voters in their House district, their right to an equally powerful and geographically

effective vote and ignores the demographic, economic, political, and geographic

differences between the Eagle River and Girdwood communities. In addition, Senate

District E is not relatively compact, incorporating disparate communities of interest by

stretching across hundreds of square miles of uninhabited state park. This violates the

equal protection clause of the Alaska Constitution.

REDISTRICTING
ITMO 2021 Redistricting Plan, Case No. 3AN-21-08869 CI Page 9 of 11
31. The Board's creation of two separate Eagle River Senate districts constitutes

unlawful political gerrymandering. It intentionally increases majority Senate districts

while reducing the voting power of residents in House Districts 9 (South

Anchorage/Girdwood/Whittier) and 23 (Ship Creek/Government Hill/JBER/Northeast

Anchorage), and the Anchorage districts with which these districts would have been

paired but for irrational decision-making and the resulting unlawful gerrymandering.

REQUEST FOR RELIEF

Plaintiffs accordingly request that the Court enter an order:

1. Declaring that Senate District E of the 2022 Proclamation violates the

Alaska Constitution and is invalid;

2. Compelling the Board to adopt Plan 2, pairing House District 9 with House

District 13 and House District 10 with House District 24; or, alternatively, Plan 1, pairing

House District 9 with House District 11 and House District 10 with House District 24;

3. Awarding Plaintiffs their costs and reasonable attorney’s fees; and

4. Providing any other relief that justice may require.

A RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF THE ALASKA REDISTRICTING BOARD SENATE PAIRING
MAPS 1 OR 2, AND OPPOSITION TO SENATE PAIRING MAP 3 OR ANY SIMILAR PROPOSED
PAIRINGS WHICH COMBINE EAGLE RIVER AND GIRDWOOD

WHEREAS, the Girdwood Board of Supervisors (GBOS) is the duly elected Anchorage municipal board representing the
residents and tax payers of Girdwood Valley Service Area in the provision of multiple local services, and is also
recognized under AMC 22.40.035 as representing the Girdwood community in an equivalent capacity to a Community
Council; and

WHEREAS, the Alaska Redistricting Board issued a 2021 Proclamation of Redistricting on November 10, 2021; and

WHEREAS, several legal challenges were filed to the 2021 Proclamation and, after rulings by the Superior and Supreme
Courts, the Alaska Redistricting Board is now reconsidering senate pairings for the Anchorage area; and

WHEREAS, GBOS reviewed the proposed senate pairing plans (Maps 1, 2 & 3), which were the Alaska Redistricting
Board’s adopted draft senate pairing plans as of April 5th 2022; and

WHEREAS, maps 1 & 2 maps combine the geographically contiguous and culturally & socio-economically coherent
communities of the Hillside, South Anchorage and Turnagain Arm/Girdwood/Whittier into senate seats; and

WHEREAS, map 3, or any similar map which combines Turnagain Arm/Girdwood with Eagle River, does not combine
communities of similar interests, nor in any meaningful sense are the house districts contiguous, requiring traversing the
width of the roadless Chugach Mountain Range to get from the northern to southern communities.

THEREFORE, the Girdwood Board of Supervisors supports the senate pairings represented by maps 1 or 2, and opposes
the senate pairings represented by map 3, or any similar proposal that combines Eagle River with South
Anchorage/Hillside/Turnagain Arm/Girdwood.

8 (Proclamation) affecting communities for a decade; and
9
10 WHEREAS, the adoption of the Proclamation on November 10, 2021, triggered a
11 Charter provision requiring the Anchorage Assembly to determine whether it was
12 malapportioned and also triggered a Charter amendment passed by voters in 2020

26
27 WHEREAS, the Alaska Supreme Court on March 25, 2022 affirmed the superior court’s
28 determination that “the Board’s Senate K pairing of house districts constituted an
29 unconstitutional political gerrymander violating equal protection under the Alaska

31
32 WHEREAS, on remand, the Alaska Redistricting Board adopted proposed revisions to
33 the 2021 Proclamation Plan Anchorage Senate District K

40
41 WHEREAS, during the recent Municipality of Anchorage Reapportionment process,
42 residents from Eagle River, South Anchorage and Girdwood spoke out overwhelmingly
43 against proposals that would combine these communities with scores of comments
44 opposing the combination; and
45

3
4 WHEREAS, the Anchorage Reapportionment Committee heard from five community
5 councils and scores of individuals regarding their opposition to grouping Eagle River
6 and South Anchorage on the basis that these are distinctly different regions with few
7 shared communities of interest; and
8
9 WHEREAS, the Alaska Redistricting Board’s Proposed Anchorage Senate Districts
10 Option 2 combines House District 23 which is the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson,
11 Government Hill and downtown Anchorage area with House District 17 which is the
12 main [covering the] downtown area; and House District 22, the south Eagle River area,
13 with House District 24, the north Eagle River area; and
14
15 WHEREAS, the record demonstrates that a plan is possible which adopts all
16 highly contiguous pairings that maintain communities of interest, keeping
17 neighbors with neighbors, including Government Hill and North Downtown
18 Anchorage with South Downtown Anchorage, Chugiak with Eagle River, and
19 South Anchorage with Southwest Anchorage in Option 2; and
20
21 WHEREAS, Option 3B offers pairings with only second-class contiguity that
22 connects Chugiak with Government Hill and Downtown, Eagle River with
23 Girdwood, Portage, and Whittier which all have substantial geographic barriers
24 including the Chugach Front Range Mountains, the federally secured borders of
25 JBER, and in some cases hours of highway time; and
26
27 WHEREAS, the Assembly has heard no constitutional arguments that are
28 persuasive in justifying the breaking up of natural contiguous communities of
29 interest that can stand in the face of the overwhelming public testimony it
30 received to the contrary; and
31
32 WHEREAS, Option 2 more closely joins neighboring communities of[f] common interest
33 that interact through direct road access to shop, work, and play in their respective areas,
34 in clear compliance with the Superior Court’s Constitutional directives to respect natural
35 boundaries where possible in describing boundaries (e.g. drainages and mountain
36 ranges), and the testimony from communities of interest, while maintaining contiguity
37 and compactness in drawing such district lines;
38
39 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Anchorage Municipal Assembly
40 supports the Alaska Redistricting Board’s Proposed Anchorage Senate Districts Option
