Anchorage Assembly candidates Anna Brawley, Zac Johnson, Karen Bronga and Felix Rivera chat over lunch at the Lucky Wishbone on Tuesday, April 4, 2023, an Election Day tradition started by the late state Sen. Johnny Ellis. Also at the table were Assembly candidates George Martinez and Chris Constant.
Left-of-center candidates are leading in six out of seven Anchorage Assembly races after voting ended and theof the turnout in. Tens of thousands more ballots will still be counted in the coming days. However, three left-of-center candidates have leads of 20 or more points: Incumbent Chris Constant in District 1, North Anchorage, had two opponents who did not mount strong campaigns. Constant has captured 65% of the vote so far. And in one of two District 5 East Anchorage races, Karen Bronga leads conservative Leigh Sloan 60% to 40%. In District 2, which covers Eagle River, Chugiak and Eklutna, conservative Scott Myers leads Jim Arlington 57% to 43%.
And in District 6 covering South Anchorage, Girdwood and Turnagain Arm, Zac Johnson leads conservative Rachel Ries 54%
I look forward to the day when anchgov candidates are correctly labeled. Those candidates are at best, center-right, now they are leading far right opponents. The candidates in my district, Martinez & Bronga, are not 'left'. Left of their opponents? Probably, but not 'left'.
