Joseph E. Vogler (April 24, 1913 – c. May 31, 1993) was an american politician and the founder of the Alaskan Independence Party.
He was also chair or gubernatorial nominee during most of the party's existence. Originally known in his adopted hometown of Fairbanks, Alaska, and later statewide, as a frequent participant in governmental and political affairs and frequent litigant in court. Curiously enough, he was known to many non-political observers for his fashion sense, in particular his ubiquitous wearing of fedoras and bolo ties.
