LaFrance has a record of fighting for our local businesses and neighborhoods to restore growth and prosperity to our city.
Suzanne LaFrance gives opening remarks at the Anchorage Home Builders Association's mayoral candidate forum at the BP Energy Center in Anchorage on Feb. 6, 2024.
Commercial cores like Downtown and Midtown are where our city’s greatest challenges are on display, and where we have some of the greatest opportunity to turn things around, from public safety to transportation to housing. LaFrance is also a champion of our city’s crisis response teams, including the Mobile Crisis Team and Mobile Intervention Team. We have to build out our mental health continuum of care so police can do their job and professionals can respond and help people in crisis. It is unacceptable that so many people in crisis have been abandoned to wander the streets of downtown and Midtown.
Downtown and Midtown need more housing. With decades of private sector experience and Municipal expertise, LaFrance has the experience and approach to work with developers and get more housing built here in Anchorage.
