The interaction is not so unusual, but when I read a candidate's statement that I know is false I feel the need to point it out. She said "I have no intention of addressing that issue," Natasha von Imhof said. "If there's a conflict of interest in any nature, I will recuse myself." Knowing full well that the Alaska Senate will not allow her to recuse herself. She can attempt to recuse, but it is a hollow, insignificant statement to help her get elected.
