Six of Anchorage’s 12 Assembly seats are up this year. Only two incumbents, Assembly members Daniel Volland and Felix Kameron Perez-Verdia, are seeking re-election – meaning there will be at least four new Assembly members in April.
Ballots for the Assembly races, the two Anchorage School Board races, and bond propositions went out in the mail on March 11. They are due back by April 1.
The Landmine will be doing debates for all six Assembly races, though some candidates did not respond to our invitation.
You can watch the debate for District 2 – Seat A – Chugiak, Eagle River, JBER with Jared Goecker and Kyle Walker below. David Littleton did not respond to our invitation. This is an open seat as Assembly member Mark Littlefield is not seeking re-election.
Thanks to Jared Goecker and Kyle Walker for participating. And a big thanks to our sponsors for making these debates possible!
How Eagle River can have such sane candidates for assembly and send above our quota of crazy to Juneau is beyond me!
