Republican Travis Szanto is challenging incumbent Felix Rivera for his District 4, Seat G Midtown position on the Anchorage Assembly.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Voters are making their choice for the Anchorage Assembly as ballots have arrived at homes across the city.
Democrat Rivera is running for his third assembly term and says that he’s optimistic about being reelected, citing various accomplishments during his six years in the position. Rivera, who chairs the Committee and Housing and Homelessness in Anchorage, narrowly defeated his challenger Christine Hill by less than 200 votes in 2020.
“I have helped lead a creation of 300 plus housing units that didn’t exist a year ago, right, that wouldn’t have existed without my leadership,” Rivera said. “I helped to found the plan for emergency shelter and created the taskforce that helped create that plan when the administration completely failed to do. When it comes to snow plowing, I advocated for and worked with my colleagues to get 1.5 million additional dollars in snowplowing. So I know how to get this job done.
This is Szanto’s first time running for political office. He identifies as a moderate who leans politically right and says public safety is a priority for him.
