Who is on the ballot for April 7 Anchorage election?

I ‘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.
