The Landmine recently published an article documenting that “full PFD” Republican gubernational candidate Bernadette Wilson had her 2023 and 2024 Permanent Fund Dividends garnished to pay a court ordered judgement. The judgement, for more than $57,000, was to Shoreside Petroleum.
Court documents obtained by the Landmine show that Wilson, acting on behalf of her trash company Denali Disposal, submitted a commercial credit application with Shoreside Petroleum on June 15, 2020. In the application, Wilson agreed to be personally liable for any fuel debts incurred. Her mom, Roberta Zipay, was also listed on the application. Denali Disposal is owned 75% by Wilson and 25% by Zipay.
Starting in March 2022, Denali Disposal began purchasing fuel on credit. From March 31 to July 31 of 2022, the company ran up a fuel bill of more than $52,000. Two checks from Denali Disposal were rejected due to insufficient funds. The first, written on May 30, 2022, was for more than $5,400. The second, written on July 21, 2022, was for just under $13,000.
In October 2022, Shoreside Petroleum filed a debt collection lawsuit against Denali Disposal, Wilson, and Zipay after repeated demands for payment. Denali Disposal, Wilson, and Zipay all failed to respond to the lawsuit.
The court granted default judgement to Shoreside Petroleum on February 2, 2023 for $53,800. An amended default judgment for $57,400 was entered on May 3, 2023.
A writ of execution for the judgement was issued on July 17, 2023. Bank sweeps against Denali Disposal, Wilson, and Zipay began soon after. Court records show the bank sweeps did not result in much money. The following accounts were swept from August 11, 2023 to October 4, 2023:
- $3,031 from a Denali Disposal bank account at Northrim Bank.
- $479 from a Roberta Zipay account at Northtim Bank.
- $513 from a Roberta Zipay account at Northrim bank.
- $2,630 from a Bernadette Wilson account at Global Credit Union.
Court records show that during this period a process server attempted service on Roberta Zipay and Denali Disposal multiple times. An affidavit from the process server noted that she could “hear voices inside; however there was no answer at the door” when she tried to serve Zipay. It also says the process server received a return call from a man who initially identified himself as Daniel (Roberta’s husband is Daniel Zipay) but later said he was not Daniel when the process server identified herself.
Wilson had other income during the period she owed Shoreside Petroleum the money. In September 2021, Wilson was hired as the state director for Americans for Prosperity Alaska. She worked there until she was let go in April 2023. Her salary at Americans for Prosperity is not known, but sources told the Landmine that it was more than $100,000 per year.
Wilson became the interim CEO of the Alaska Policy Forum in November 2023. According to the Alaska Policy Forum’s IRS 990 for 2024, Wilson was paid more than $125,000. During the year Wilson was interim CEO, the Alaska Policy Forum reported revenues of just $92,000, resulting in a deficit of $121,000. Their net fund balance at the end of 2024 was just $9,100.
Previous years for the Alaska Policy Forum were much better for revenue and showed lower salary overheard. The previous CEO, Bethany Marcum, was paid a salary of $70,000 according to their 2022 990 filing. That year, Carmela Warfield, now-Alaska Republican Party chair, was paid $21,000. In 2022, total revenue for the Alaska Policy Forum was $524,000, with an ending net fund balance of $346,000.
In 2023, Wilson was paid more than $10,000 (for just over a month of work). Marcum was paid $56,000 (she left in August 2023). And Warfield was paid just under $87,000. Revenues were $355,000, with an ending net fund balance of $130,000.
Wilson and Zipay had their 2023 and 2024 PFDs garnished to fulfill the judgment to Shoreside Petroleum. The judgment was satisfied on September 23, 2025 – four months after Wilson filed to run for governor.
Landfield should expect a thanks from Ms. Wilson.
This story will help her in the primary, the voters she’s trying to appeal to love frauds and deadbeats.
She could probably up the orange though.
“………This story will help her in the primary, the voters she’s trying to appeal to love frauds and deadbeats………”
Good attempt at humor for a Jimmy Kimmel fan. At the end of the article, where I found your “comment”, I was wondering how Wilson even imagined running for governor with this still going on, as if she had the power to keep it covered.
“I was wondering how Wilson even imagined running for governor with this still going on, as if she had the power to keep it covered.”
Sorta like the time Rep. McCabe hid his property tax records after being elected the first time, so no one would find out he’d been cheating. Speaking of frauds and deadbeats.

LOL! Hi, Editor of great courage who always uses his legal name in blog comment sections!
Guys, look! Kevin McCabe using state time to argue with people on a blog.
Definitely McCabe
Definitely a uniparty tool too.
LOL! Actually, I’m Joaquin Murrieta. And you’re Bozo the Clown, Mr. Alexander..
“………Sorta like the time Rep. McCabe hid his property tax records after being elected the first time, so no one would find out he’d been cheating………”
We shall see if Wilson can overcome this campaign disaster like McCabe repeatedly overcomes your campaign attacks. He seems to get elected, even against forever candidates like Holmes. I’m thinking she won’t. Despite her wide support, she was not even a ranked choice on my personal radar………unless, of course, she was running only against Democrats…………
McCabe also tried to hide his expenses in two campaigns and got busted by APOC.
But his feet don’t stink as bad as yours, not to mention that YOU got fined by APOC after filing a complaint on McCabe. That had to hurt, no?
Ah! Finally! The possible foundation of Kelsey’s (and friends) rage and perpetual mudslinging! From your link, and from your cowardly anonymous link:
“………Doyle Holmes is the only viable candidate in this race………”
I suspected your years long “campaign” was at least a bit deeper than psychological breakdown (although that’s clearly at play here).You (and others) are lashing back for two-lime-loser Doyle.
So is one of your anonymous pals Holmes himself?
You’re a Nevada resident, stop commenting on here like the fraud and deadbeat you are.
What’s your weird obsession over where some rando person on the internet lives ? So what ? Nobody cares besides you.
“…….What’s your weird obsession over where some rando person on the internet lives ?……”
Think that’s weird? How about somebody (under several fake names) or (worse) several people perseverating about me being a state legislator? That right there is an example of just how psychotic this society is.
You are Kevin McCabe. All the pretending won’t save you, Mr. I Have 20 Burner Accounts On Twitter.
You’re psychotic. But are you also Kelsey?
how would someone who isn’t Kevin McCabe, know the name of someone who Baldy (Kevin) has an issue with. You gave yourself away again. Back to your cute minority that can’t accomplish anything of meaning
“…….how would someone who isn’t Kevin McCabe, know the name of someone who Baldy (Kevin) has an issue with…….”
From the internet, where all other buckets of bullshit can be discovered……….Baldy #2
He’s not just in the minority, he’s at the minority’s kiddie table, marginalized by his own caucus and wallowing in bitterness and insignificance.
Being a Republican in a Legislature dominated by Republicans and still being in the “minority” isn’t a reflection on “Baldy”, since numerous Republicans have found themselves in the same situation over the past 30 years. The problem is people like you, not Republicans in a minority of a coalitions run by the minority party.
Everybody knows how the McCabes abuse social media with their burner accounts.
So that means that anybody who disagrees with you (or simply ignores you) must be McCane.
Brilliant. Genius. Obviously true. How could it be anybody else?
Of course, Reggie Taylor MUST be Kevin McCain, but you can’t possibly be “that Mike”.
Brilliant. Genius. Obviously true. It can’t possibly be another Mike.
Not my clowncar, not my circus
If you live on Earth, this Big Top is playing in your town. You yourself exhibit signs of TDS, so the signs (and effects) of McCabe Derangement Syndrome are in the air you breathe, and it’s definitely infectious. That’s why they rage……….
Who made you the forum sheriff? There is no residency requirement to post here. Where people live is no one’s business. Try to mind your own business for a change and keep your Svatass Derangement Syndrome in check.
It speaks to credibility dumbass – why should one even consider the validity of someone else’s argument on these threads if they don’t even live here? Dan (or whoever the hell he actually is) clearly isn’t a resident here, either ever or certainly not currently, and should have his comments discounted for whatever value they may possess even more so. Make sense Marky boy?
I like Svatass. He’s almost as fun to harass as Kelsey. I don’t care where he lives. Others do, so I point it out. And since you don’t like it, more the fun.
“……….Who made you the forum sheriff?……..”
There is no forum. These are comments on blog articles. And there is no sheriff, and if there was, the mighty former editor of The Frontiersman newsrag (who always comments under his legal name only) would sue like he did Kevin McCabe.
I’ve never met Mr McCabe and I don’t live in Big Lake anymore, so I really don’t have an opinion.
As far as Trump is concerned, anyone who supports an adjudicated rapist and conman has to be the one who is deranged.
Trump wasn’t convicted of rape. A federal jury in New York found Donald Trump civilly liable for sexually abusing and defaming advice columnist E. Jean Carroll. And, like you state below, “nothing has been paid out”, and the judgement remains under appeal. Your accusation sounds fun, but like Jimmy Kimmel’s humor, is flat.
U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan ruled in post-trial opinions that, based on the evidence, the finding of sexual abuse implicitly determined Trump forcibly penetrated her (with his finger) and committed an act that satisfies the common, modern definition of “rape”
“……..U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan ruled in post-trial opinions………”
And his “opinion” is under appeal, and no award is yet due. Opinions are like assholes, there are all kinds of assholes, and those are everywhere you look. Good luck.
“……….implicitly determined………..”
LOL! Your desperation is precious. Keep it up.
If you need the approval of people like him who don’t even live in the state in which the context of all these articles reside – that says all we need to know about what people like you think and how outnumbered you are compared to the rest of the electorate.
Sure, whatevs
“……….What’s your weird obsession over where some rando person on the internet lives?………”
What if Svatass was Nigerian? Russian? Iranian? ISIS? Would it matter then? Is the only time you’re concerned with influence campaigns from outside when it’s Trump accused of listening to it?
Since we’re making up cute names, I might as well go all the way. I don’t know what’s worse, this thread showing the usual suspects in extreme circle jerk mode, or Tina’s near-constant mentally ill brainfarts over at the competition.
Every political campaign year (biannual) is a year-long “circle jerk”, and the mass media has been paid so handsomely to feed it that it has become a 24/7/365 psyop lasting the entire two year cycle. If you can’t take it, you might want to take up praying the rosary, because if you read political blogs, this is what you should expect.
Welcome to The Machine………….
Did she use campaign funds to pay off her debt? Follow the money
The level of income Wilson was generating, coupled with likely child support from two different men, makes one re-think the whole “single mom who tackled adversity and overcame” narrative surrounding her.
Also, at what point in this unfortunate financial and legal saga did Denali Disposal burn down?
And what was the insurance payout after that event?
Nothing has been paid out, according to KTUU she’s being sued for negligence.
The lawsuit alleges “the fire started in a location under the exclusive control of Denali Disposal” and that “a structure fire ordinarily does not occur absent negligence.”
Just because she’s being sued for negligence (bad look for Suzanne Downing’s “Anchorage businesswoman”) doesn’t mean she didn’t get an insurance payout from the fire.
$8 million in damages from her dumpster fire. Sheesh.
“………$8 million in damages from her dumpster fire……….”
I knew of another fire in the early ’80’s in an office building that conveniently destroyed documents that federal investigators were to be looking for. It was a bad look, but nobody went to prison.
Remember when they blew Muriel Pfeil to pieces ?
Yup. Anchorage has a very dark history. Its very first police chief was murdered in the 1920’s. It was unsolved.
Remember the trials of Neil McKay?
I do. I remember Chuck Hamel and the Colacurcio‘s and the ad-hoc Democrats. I remember when Neil Bergt was working for the CIA and when Jimmy Hoffa sent his stepson up to Fairbanks to run the Teamsters hall. I remember when Pegge Begich married a Tucson mobster after the death of her first husband, he opened a nightclub in Anchorage called the Pink Poodle. Heck, I even remember when they found the two torso’s that washed ashore in Turnagain Arm, and how Joe Boehm teased to both APD and the FBI about how he might have information pertaining to how… Read more »
“……..Do you remember when Stumpy Faulkner and his friends helped redline Anchorage neighborhoods in order to keep AK Natives and other brown skinned people out of their enclaves ?…….”
Nope. I remember the other scandals you mention, though, and several more. You have a good memory. Most of that shit was worthy forgetting. A lot more bad memories are currently in the making.
Her crimes seem pretty run-of-the-mill for a MAGA politician. That aside, I think the lady is just plain batshit crazy!
Simmer down there Martin, shall we talk about the INSANE amount of fraud the Dems have pulled off? So many fake NGO (Minnesota) and maybe we should bring up Pelosi have a much better success record than Warren fn Buffet? Insider trading much? This is a person issue not a party issue.
“………This is a person issue not a party issue……….”
The “MAGA” line thrown about regularly by martin and a few other simpletons regarding non-related issues might be a display of mass strawman manufacturing, but is more likely just an illustration of stupidity and following a piper off a cliff. Indeed, Trump created the MAGA slogan specifically for weak minds like that, on both extremes of the American psychological collapse, and it works like a spell to this day. It will likely survive Covid and global warming/climate change as an ideological pivot point for the ultimate losers of humanity.
“Trump created the MAGA slogan specifically for weak minds”
He sure did and you illustrate that regularly. Anyone who still supports this clown show of ineptitude and pedophile-protection must be truly deranged. Same goes for supporting a MAGA AG nominee who won’t defend state sovereignty. Total loser move.
“……..He sure did and you illustrate that regularly………” How so? Do I lend out any vibes of “making America great again”? With weight like you to drag along, how is that supposed to happen? My opinion of the American public is lower than ever………..although my escape clause still applies: We’re still in better shape than all the other options across the borders, and will always be, even with all the dead weight we have to carry. I did not vote for Trump in the 2016 primary. But every time I see his name stacked against nothing else but Democrats or… Read more »
Always nice to see the party planner!
Why isn’t her Baby Daddy out campaigning for her?
Chris Tuck?
Why was Bernadette Zipay Wilson “let go” at Americans for Prosperity”?
Probably because she doesn’t play well with others (except maybe Democrat legislators). She’s a glam-whore girl boss who bought some professional-looking, complete-coverage mini dresses and dropped her Democrat boyfriend just before announcing her run for office. It’s all about the look (have you seen her FB page? She has a photographer follow her everywhere, posts new content daily and laughably talks about candidates “setting their egos aside.”). But she does know how to play the crowd: she talks about dirt and trash and presents herself as a class act instead of the hypocritical loudmouth we all know her to be.… Read more »
Bernadette has no chance if winning this race. She is mean-spirited, completely out of touch (tone deaf), and can’t even manage to run her own checkbook. Even BFF Suzanne Downing can’t help her in this latest publicity spectacle. Her pick for lieutenant governor is equally pompous and self-promoting. Mike Shower is most interested in talking about how great he thinks he is. It would be difficult to find someone more lazy when it comes to helping or serving others even when that is his job.
When I first heard about her Lt. Gov. pick I thought, “the election guy”?? What kind of a moniker is that? What has he actually accomplished regarding cleaning up our elections beyond talking about it?
He and Bernadette are two peas in a pod: all talk and sound bites, no real articulation of their plans because they’re in way over their heads.
I just hope people wake up and see the charade for what it is before it’s too late.
So what?
Just another reason Revealing Alaska is Not business friendly
Why would any business leader from the states and countries come to Alaska if they are not already a multi millionaire to pay astronomical prices just to run their business in a state that doesn’t even have a multitude of business competitors with competing prices.
Aside from how much excessive expenses on put on businesses just to operate on Alaska; for someone who she earned well over 50,000 shows she had the likely to afford Shoreside expensive bill. How Alaskans who are earning well over 50,000 even over 100,000 a year and still bounce a check.still complain it’s not enough shows they have a spending problem and a high life style issue. Jeff, this was a lot better of an explosive landmine than the earlier publication of Bernadette and Shoreside. You brought the spreadsheets that can’t lie. Maybe Bernedette should sell her house downsizing to… Read more »
Ruh Roh, it looks like the crackpots and kooks from Sue Downing’s page are infiltrating this site now
Thanks again, Jeff for showing us what’s really happening with candidates that are wanting to run our state… Are we seriously considering putting Bernadette in as the chief executive officer of our state? We’re supposed to overlook civil judgments and all the controversy surrounding her and call that leadership? And let’s not forget her lewd photos circulating from past modeling or posing work representing Alaska on the national stage? Is this really the standard we want for the governor of our state? Have we gone completely nuts in this state? We should be demanding Class….and integrity, experience, and accountability from… Read more »

Eighteen months ago, we Alaskans knowingly voted for an ignoramous felonious orange fraudster rapist racist traitor fascist to run the country.
Your question isn’t really a question.

So did you Nevadans. Six electoral votes to our 3 in Alaska. Apparently, we’re of like mind……….despite your bleating……………
