Assembly Censures Martinez Over Campaign Travel | Anchorage News

The Anchorage Assembly just censured George Martinez, 8-3, over campaign finance violations involving a Florida trip — a symbolic rebuke that doesn’t remove him, but fuels calls for deeper investigation. The Alaska Public Offices Commission found he misused funds, slapped him with a $5,306 fine, and called his defense “evasive.” While Martinez paid up and says he’ll comply better, some Assembly members want him out. A separate probe into his public spending is still pending, and the Assembly’s focus remains stuck on this controversy — even as they try to return to pressing issues like housing and the budget.
