Judge sets second trial date for former Alaska legislator Gabrielle LeDoux (R)
An Alaska Superior Court Judge has set a new trial date for former Rep. Gabrielle LeDoux, R-Anchorage.
LeDoux, who was accused of elections misconduct in 2020, will face trial in June, according to an order signed Feb. 24 by judges Catherine Easter and Thomas Matthews. A preliminary hearing will take place May 5.
The state’s case against the Anchorage Republican has been repeatedly delayed — first by the COVID-19 pandemic emergency and then by procedural issues.
It reached trial in 2024, but that ended in a mistrial after the jury deadlocked on all 12 counts facing LeDoux. Jurors were unable to decide whether LeDoux had illegally tried to convince people to vote in her district despite knowing they lived outside her district.
