Post Legislative-Career

After decided to not seek re-election to the state senate in 2007, Stevens continued to hold a post as a member of the Republican National Committee. In September 2007, two of the state's top Republican elected officials, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and House Speaker John Harris called on Stevens to resign because he was under a federal investigation for his ties to the oil field services company VECO Corporation. Stevens also hadn't attended a national committee meeting in more than two years.
