LaFrance will be sworn in as Anchorage's first woman elected mayor on July 1 and is preparing for the transition.
Anchorage mayor-elect Suzanne LaFrance stands in front of City Hall after her election victory was certified by the Anchorage Assembly on May 31, 2024.
“What’s most important is that we’re focused on what’s best for Anchorage and working together,” LaFrance said. “And I look forward to productive, respectful disagreements, so that we do have a better outcome for everyone who lives here.” “I think we do need a year-round shelter,” Sulte said. “I think we do need to hold people accountable for crimes they commit. You know, being homeless is one thing. Littering, stealing, intoxication is another.”
“I mean, that’s what we need to do here is make sure that folks have a place to go,” LaFrance said. “And so that’ll be a top priority, building that strong team, and ensuring that we have that plan in place.” LaFrance said other top priorities include fully staffing municipal jobs, and providing better public safety on city trails and streets.
