She says her husband’s death in April gave her doubts, but she thinks he would want her to run.
Juneau Mayor Beth Weldon has announced that she plans to run for a third term in October’s local election .“It’s been an extremely tough decision to make, especially with my husband, Greg’s, passing,” she said. “But I just come back to the same thoughts that I’m committed to Juneau, and I think I still have some things to offer.”Weldon is a retired division chief with Capital City Fire/Rescue and owns Glacier Auto Parts. She has two adult sons and is a lifelong resident of Juneau.
Weldon said some of her priorities if reelected are supporting child care development, more housing and keeping the city’s spending budget in check. “Before Greg passed away, I was going to run anyway. And then that kind of gave me a little bit of pause,” she said. “Then I decided that he would want me to continue to do it because he was a quiet supporter, but he was the type of guy that if I got home late one evening, there’d be leftovers from dinner for me.”
