Only two people are running for the Anchorage Assembly District 4 Midtown seat. Challenger Kathy Henslee says she has a lot of respect for incumbent Meg Zaletel, but that she feels her solutions for solving problems are poor.

Zaletel is seeking to be reelected to a second term in Midtown. She has legal background, and is the interim executive director of the Anchorage Coalition to End Homelessness. The incumbent said she takes a “people centered” approach to politics, and does not consider herself a conservative, moderate, or liberal.

“Assembly member Rivera , we’ve been working on whether or not a Midtown Tax Improvement District or a Midtown District Plan make sense, so some of the things that have happened downtown, can we extrapolate them out?” Zaletel said.

Do they shop there, have kids in school there ? Exactly whom is funding this tax free campaign account? Just ordinary questions.
