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 5 – Seat H – East Anchorage with Yarrow Silvers and Angela Frank below. John Stiegele did not respond to our invitation. This is an open seat as Assembly member Karen Bronga is not seeking re-election.
Thanks to Yarrow Silvers and Angela Frank for participating. And a big thanks to our sponsors for making these debates possible!
