Alaska Supreme Court says judge was wrong to stall recall of Gov. Dunleavy while appeal plays out

he Alaska Supreme Court issued an order on Friday allowing the campaign to recall Gov. Mike Dunleavy to begin collecting signatures.

In a separate filing, the court agreed to hear an appeal seeking to block the recall on a sped-up schedule. The state and Stand Tall with Mike must file their briefs by Feb. 25. Recall Dunleavy must reply by Mar. 9. Oral arguments will be held on Mar. 25.

Recall Dunleavy campaign manager Claire Pywell said the group is grateful.

“The movement is now full-speed ahead, and we’re going to be collecting signatures in February,” she said.

The court directed the state’s Division of Elections to prepare petition booklets immediately to Recall Dunleavy.

Pywell expected to receive the booklets in a week.
