After years of turbulence, let’s restore common sense and sound judgment to the mayor’s office.
Mayoral candidate Suzanne LaFrance participates in a candidate forum on Wednesday, Feb. 21, 2024 at Chugach Electric Association in Anchorage.
It is clear Anchorage faces challenges: Homelessness, property crime, insufficient workforce housing, large swaths of vacant commercial real estate, unsafe transportation infrastructure that impedes growth. However, each of these challenges also presents an opportunity, and LaFrance’s record makes it clear she would oversee incredible progress as mayor.
Steep increases in rent and housing prices should motivate us to make workforce housing a top priority, and Suzanne LaFrance has a record of working with neighborhood leaders and the business community to build more housing. At a time when Anchorage needs to redevelop many vacant commercial areas and bring more mixed-use development to areas like Midtown and Downtown, LaFrance’s support for quality redevelopment and housing is exactly what would help Anchorage’s economy recover.
