   It was late on a Sunday afternoon, Oct. 14, 2018, in downtown   
   Anchorage. Potts was in town on business and had skipped her evening   
   run to attend this hastily arranged meeting with the governor of   
   Alaska, Bill Walker, and Lt. Gov. Byron Mallott.   
      
   The polished brass doors of the elevator opened and Potts, 41 at the   
   time, stepped onto the seventh floor of the Hotel Captain Cook. She   
   knocked on the door to Room 704.   
      
   Mallott answered, alone in the room. He asked her to take a seat and   
   began to talk.   
      
   Looking her up and down, Mallott told her about the powerful   
   attraction he had for her and hoped she felt the same. When she rose   
   to leave, he reminded her of the effort he’d put into advocating for   
   her over the years. Potts rejected the advances and left.   
      
   The story of what happened in the hotel room has never been publicly   
   told. But within 48 hours, Mallott had resigned as lieutenant   
   governor, and within a week, Walker dropped his campaign for   
   reelection.
