 Introduction to the Alaskan Independence Party
Vogler and Republican State Senator Jack Coghill maneuvered to offer the nomination to Walter J. ("Wally") Hickel, a Republican who had served a half-term as governor from 1966 to 1968 before being named as Secretary of the Interior by President Nixon.
Coghill, along with other Alaskan conservatives at the time, was dissatisfied with the Republican gubernatorial nominee, Arliss Sturgulewski, a State Senator who was thought to be too liberal on abortion, school prayer and the death penalty.
Coghill's presence in the race was thought to have undermined the Republican candidate much in the same way that Vogler had done in the election of 1986.

Alaskan Independence Party chairman Joe Vogler seized on this discontent to offer the seats on the AIP ticket to Hickel and Jack Coghill, who had been nominated as the Republican candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Alaska.
John Howard Lindauer and Jerry Ward, the previous AIP candidates, stepped aside, citing the illness of Lindauer's wife [1], and Hickel and Coghill prevailed in the general election.
Although he had common ground with the Alaska Independence Party in fighting restrictions on land use imposed by federal environmentalism, Hickel had been one of the most influential historical proponents of Alaska statehood and never endorsed the AIP's secessionism, prompting some party faithful to petition for his recall.
