Get StartedWhile the Borough does not have public safety powers, by partnering with the police and fire departments across the Borough, we can find ways to minimize areas that attract crime, and help provide services to reduce homelessness which will create safer neighborhoods. As Mayor, I will strive to create these partnerships, bringing stakeholders to the table to work together to solve a problem. Learn more
Creating local jobs is essential for a thriving community. As your mayor, I will work to incentivize businesses to hire locally and support entrepreneurs, ensuring that our residents have access to meaningful employment right here in our Borough.

When people see that our Borough is a place that is growing and thriving, new investment will follow creating a bright and thriving economy for years to come. Learn more

Our access to the outdoors is world class. I believe that through partnering with local organizations, we can expand these opportunities while keeping costs low. But while our winters are beautiful and fun, families also need indoor recreation and events. Our senior population has doubled over the last ten years, and continues to grow, and finding ways to support Alaskans in their golden years will be a top priority for the next mayor. Learn more
Ensuring that everyone has access to affordable, high-quality child care is essential for attracting and retaining young families.
