The unqualified answer is " Yes!!-- they can!! ". If anything, the wealth of in-house experience behind bars often proves indispensible to the freshman senator, seeking to walk the fine line between robbing the country blind for whatever cause his Lobbyists-chums seek to exploit, and at the same moment appearing to be so super-patriotic that voting for his constituents , and against the Lobbyist position, would be unthinkable. Time behind bars, so preciously cultivated when available, is to be sought greatly by contemplative office-holders: sometimes, it is the sole opportunty to learn the craft awaited.
The issue... relates to a first time run for the office of U.S. SENATOR.... Not a seated SENATOR who is indicted and found guilty while in office.

Can a convicted felon own a bow in Alaska?
NOT a good idea! US Code, Title 18 stipulates that it is a federal offense for a convicted felon to ever own or "POSSESS" firearms of any type. To live in a residence where there are firearms puts the felon in what is known in the law as "constructive possession" of the firearms (i.e.- the felon would have ready access to them - which is exactly what the law is written to prevent). That is a violation of the law, and the person who owns the guns and who knowingly resides with a convicted felon could also be charged as an accessory to the offense.
