Theresa Obermeyer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Theresa Nangle Obermeyer, Ph.D., (b. July 25, 1945), is a former Anchorage, Alaska School board member (1990–1994). After two terms she lost to Loraine Ferrel on her bid for a third.
Ms. Obermeyer is publicly known in Alaska due to her public advocacy for her husband, Tom Obermeyer, who has failed the Alaska Bar 21 times[1]. It was the behavior related to this issue while on the school board that led to her being chastised by the board and voted out of office.
In 1996 Obermayer served a thirty-day jail term for disorderly conduct in a federal judge's chambers during a discussion regarding her husband's bar examinations.[1] This issue and the episodes related to it have been the central themes of her campaigns for public office since the early 1990s, including an unsuccessful run against Republican Ted Stevens for the United States Senate.
