"McDonough was appointed to the Alaska Medical Board by Gov. Mike Dunleavy (R) in August, where he joined a conservative majority of physicians moving to outlaw gender-affirming care for minors in the state. With McDonough's support, the board voted to advance one measure granting itself the power to discipline medical providers who provide it. The measure was a workaround after Alaska legislators balked earlier this year over the governor's anti-trans crusade to end the practice in the state."
"Dr. Ryan McDonough, an interventional cardiologist at Mat-Su Regional Medical Center, was charged on Thursday with 10 felony counts of possessing child sexual abuse material after a months-long investigation. Numerous videos of young boys and girls being sexually abused, some including infants, were discovered on accounts associated with McDonough and on devices in his home, according to an affidavit by investigators. McDonough attended just two monthly board meetings after his appointment, as the investigation into his possession of the child sex abuse material ramped up."

McDonough was appointed to the Alaska Medical Board by Gov. Mike Dunleavy and joined a conservative majority moving to outlaw gender-affirming care for minors. With his support, the board advanced a measure to discipline providers offering such care. Fewer than 100 children in Alaska currently receive gender-affirming care. McDonough attended only two monthly board meetings as the investigation ramped up. The charred remains of his body were later identified after a fire engulfed his home in Wasilla.
