  1. I â€m running to replace Felix Rivera on the Anchorage Assembly in Midtown Anchorage and I am asking for your vote. As a School Board Member, Representative, and Senator I have represented Spenard and Midtown neighborhoods I grew up in for almost 25 years.

    I am running for the Anchorage Assembly Midtown District to improve the lives of Anchorage families.

    I will do that by restoring COMMON SENSE TO CITY HALL.

    I will prioritize PUBLIC SAFETY, SCHOOLS, and STREETS.

    I support an ACCOUNTABLE HOLISTIC APPROACH TO HOMELESSNESS including a Navigation Center like those that have been successful in the lower forty-eight. The current Assembly has twice wrongly rejected such an accountable approach proposed by Mayor Sullivan and Mayor Bronson.

    Under the current Assembly, Anchorage now has one of the highest violent crime rates in the nation. I will work to reduce police and fire response times and make our neighborhoods safe from homeless crime.

    I will work for a fairer system of property tax appraisal including a phased in of large increases to allow families to budget for them.

    I will protect our homes and neighborhoods by opposing encroachment on R-1 zoning.

    I oppose the radical TSDO transportation corridors plan that threatens our neighborhoods and home values.

    I support our community’s current financial support to our schools.

    I will work for more efficient snow removal including clearing of pedestrian walkways, so folks do not have to walk in the streets.

    I support utilizing empty classroom space in schools for childcare services to increase the availability of affordable childcare for working families.

    I am having a fundraiser Friday February 6th from 5:30pm to 7:00pm at 255 West Fireweed Lane the offices of Harrington and Company. I need your support and vote for a better Anchorage.

    1. Hello Dave … we are happy you are in this race. After this election and your victory, we will finally have representation on the Anchorage assembly. It’s been a long time.

      Please add to your “to do” list an analysis of and response to the current Anchorage municipal library system (not including Girdwood and Eagle River). They are dangerous places and residents hoping to use the libraries for their intended purposes are frequently unable to do so. The paid library staff refuses to address problems associated with some people who spend time there and routinely violate the behavioral expectations listed on the library’s official document on this topic. I have been told that some people are not held to the behavioral expectations at the library because they appear to be homeless. Just like some crimes we have observed around town (for example indecent exposure and drunk in public) and that Chief Case discussed at the last assembly meeting, APD cannot enforce the laws because doing so unfairly holds their homelessness against these individuals and groups who have sex in public or are drunk and disorderly.

      Anchorage is a mess! We need better assembly representation that will take seriously and respond to the myriad problems we all encounter in public areas around the municipality and at the three Anchorage libraries (Muldoon, Mountain View, Loussac).

    2. I hope you get elected. If so, you will have a big job ahead of you. You will have to undo all the screwups embedded in the city by the assembly, just like Trump has had to do at the federal level. Good luck.

  2. Lucky Alexander Rosales. I guess for him to get a seat on Anchorage School Board is meant for him to be running opposed.
    He’ll have a lot of practice how to become a stronger voice of reason and conservative values without losing his diplomacy among his leftist co workers

  3. Very disappointing, Dave.
    .
    So why did you vote to steer school-district contracts over $1M to union-run contractors, what assures taxpayers contracts were never padded to exceed your $1M threshold?
    .
    Why, Dave, would you assume that, after what city officials did to them in the name of China flu hysteria, Anchorage families want their lives “improved” by city officials who, by the way, can’t even improve the lives of bums?
    .
    Do tell, Dave, how your generous “phased in of large increases to allow families to budget for them.” is gonna work, and why it’s better than slashing the budget and repealing every damned tax and fee imposed by a Democrat regime since, say, Berkowitz.
    .
    Or is it all about you doing your part to make up for lost taxes caused by Eaglexiters leaving and taking their tax money with them. You’re gonna disrupt the mayor-controlled, symbiotic relationship between the City and the real-estate industry, in which one has to prop up the other for both to survive and make money? How do you think that’ll work out, Dave.
    .
    Of course you’re all for “our community’s current financial support to our schools”. Comfortable quid pro quo, you give teachers’ unions money, they give you a job, that’s how the game’s played in this town, no?
    .
    You support utilizing empty classroom space in schools for childcare services to increase the availability of affordable childcare for working families. Anchorage’s very own government-run, -taxpayer funded-, accountable-to-nobody version of Somali daycare?
    .
    Do we have to ask, since Superintendent Jharrett made his position clear about cooperating with ICE, whether you pledge your life and fortune that all daycare inmates and employees will be American citizens and that all inmates will be children and not illegal-alien adult look-alikes? Do you pledge that inmates will never be subjected to the transvestic perversion currently infesting public schools? Yes or no works fine here, Dave.
    .
    As if parent/taxpayers aren’t stiffed enough to pay for one of the most expensive, worst performing school districts in the country, you want to stick ’em with the bill for government-run daycare that competes directly with privately run daycare?
    .
    Got so much empty classroom space, Dave, you could be a hero, do an actual, verifiable student census, figure out what buildings can be closed and demolished, return school land to private ownership, save taxpayers a buck or two, and not screw them with “phased in of large increases to allow families to budget for them.” to reward officials who created this shitestorm in the first place. But no, that’s not happening on your watch, is it?
    .
    Some hero you are, “I will oppose the radical TSDO transportation corridors plan that threatens our neighborhoods and home values.”. Where the hell were you when a Hillside taxpayer got his property confiscated by the parks and trails mob whose mission is all about taking private property for their trails and parks, to hell with the effect on home values? Do you even know how much the city’s administrative costs add to the price (not the value!) of a new home?
    .
    Bottom line, Dave, even if Anchorage elections were open and honest, it’s still all about expectations. 25 years in the game and this is the best you have, get more money, give it to the horrible education industry, screw taxpayers, sprinkle in a few pathetic platitudes?
    .
    Not picking on you, Dave. With pretty much everyone else, it’s no expectations, no disappointments. But for you we had great expectations, now it’s just great disappointment.
