Unalaska, AK – A campaign text message sent out on behalf of Representative Carl Moses this morning wasn't permissible under state law.

A text message sent to Alaska Wireless Communication LLC cell phone users in Unalaska encouraged them to vote for Moses, the Democratic incumbent from Unalaska, in today's primary election. But the message didn't include any information on who paid for it -- something that's required by state campaign disclosure law.

Mark Horn, owner of Alaska Wireless, said that the message was paid for by Moses's campaign, and that the error was his. He said the text was supposed to include information disclosing who paid for the message.

"I sent the wrong proof to my technician," Horn said. "I realized [after he sent it out] that that was my test message," which didn't include the disclosure information.

The violation is a relatively minor one, and usually results in a warning the first time it happens. Subsequent violations can garner fines of up to $50 a day, to be determined by the Alaska Public Offices Commission.

Moses, reached by cell phone in Anchorage, confirmed that the message was paid for by his campaign, but wouldn't comment further on the issue.
