Dear Sir or Madam: As the elected State Secretary of the Alaska Republican Party, I affirm my records reflect: Debra Holle Brown is the current State Chairman. Chairman Brown was elected to the Vice Chairman position at the last State Convention on April 28, 2012. She was found not guilty of a complaint brought against her in January 2013, and assumed the office of State Chairman February 1, 2013 after the removal of the Chairman Elect, Russ Millette. A second attempt to remove Chairman Brown from leadership took place April 8, 2013; however, according to my records, this meeting was not an official ARP meeting, as: The outcome was predetermined (March 12) before charges were even filed (March 14); 25% of the voting membership did not call the meeting (March 24-26); The complaint did not go through the proper process before the call of the meeting; and The complaint was reviewed by the new Rules Committee and was determined to be unfounded (April 6).

Therefore, Debra Holle Brown still remains the Chairman of the Alaska Republican Party. Peter Goldberg is the current State Vice Chairman. Peter was elected to serve as Vice Chairman by the State Central Committee at the February 9, 2013 meeting in Juneau, Alaska. Randy Ruedrich is the Past Chairman. He is incorrectly listed on GOP.com (http://www.gop.com/members/alaska/) as the Executive Director. The Alaska Republican Party does not currently have an Executive Director. For further information, please feel free to contact me at secretary@arp.aliceleuchte.com, or call (910) 742-0467.

Thank you,

Alic Leuchte Secretary, Alaska Republican Party
