Anchorage mayoral candidate Suzanne LaFrance with campaign supporters after initial returns were posted on Tuesday evening.
LaFrance chaired the Assembly during the first two years of Bronson’s term. Since Bronson took office in 2021, he and the Assembly’s supermajority have frequently clashed over numerous city issues. It’s not yet clear exactly how many ballots remain to be counted. Tuesday night’s results included tallies for almost all ballots returned to the election center as of Monday morning, according to Acting Election Administrator William Northrop.
