I looked it up, and this is what I found (not on a news source, but on Alaska's GLBT News Events
" She opposes health benefits for gay and lesbian couples, and supported a $1.2 million non-binding advisory vote for legislation that would have taken away the partner benefits granted by an Alaska Supreme Court ruling. (The vote passed by only a narrow margin, and the benefits remain.)"
