Preliminary results leave Anchorage's overriding political dynamic where it was before the election, with a left-of-center majority on the Assembly big enough to handily pass legislation and keep a check on a conservative mayor.
A hand-painted sign reminds people to vote along Alyeska Highway in Girdwood on April 4, 2023, which was the last day to vote in the Anchorage city election.
“I was kinda hoping we’d pick up some more conservative seats, naturally,” said Assembly member Kevin Cross, who, along with Myers and South Anchorage’s Randy Sulte, is on track to be in a three-member conservative minority on the 12-person body.] “I was a little surprised by some of the margins, but in general I’m not surprised at all,” said outgoing Assembly member Austin Quinn-Davidson, a progressive who opted not to run for reelection and backed the liberal candidate, Anna Brawley, in what is on track to be a blowout, 20-point victory in the West Anchorage district.
“The Republican Party has been absent, has literally lost their credibility, they do not help local candidates to any degree as the Democrats do, not even close,” Demboski said. “The other side is working it harder … and working smarter,” said Suzanne Downing, publisher of the conservative website, during a Wednesday interview on “I’m Glad You Said That,” a weekly program on Christian radio station KATB.
