With two weeks until ballots are due, the candidates are looking to win over more voters after a close race in the general election.
Anchorage mayor Dave Bronson and mayoral candidate Suzanne LaFrance answer questions during an Anchorage Chamber of Commerce debate held at the Petroleum Club of Anchorage on Monday, April 29, 2024.
“The mayor’s the CEO of our community and supposed to bring people together to solve problems,” LaFrance said. “I’m running for mayor to bring a nonpartisan collaborative, low ego, problem solving approach back to City Hall.” “After we started pouring the concrete, about halfway through the pouring of the concrete, she and her fellow Assembly members killed the plan,” Bronson said. “And the plan has been dead ever since. Until we build the shelter space, we cannot compel people to go into shelter because we don’t have the space.”
On a question of whether the city should have a stormwater utility, LaFrance said yes, while Bronson said no. On the recent Alaska Superior Court ruling that said it’s unconstitutional to, LaFrance agreed with the court’s decision, while Bronson disagreed. LaFrance said the Assembly budget includes a lot of outreach services for the public, and the increase reflected that.
