As Assembly and School Board incumbents decide whether they’re running for reelection, future candidates can learn how to take their place.
Michael Beasley drops a ballot into a drop box at the City Hall Assembly Chambers on Election Day on Tuesday, Oct. 3, 2023.
Current and former members will offer advice to prospective candidates for this October’s municipal election. “The whole idea is that some people have voiced that they’re reluctant, and they think you have to be sort of ‘In the know’ and ‘Part of a special group’ or whatever to run and they’re intimidated by the process,” she said. “So this is to try to take the mystery away, and provide people with the tools and the insights and ideas to both campaign and serve.”
Six seats are open in the October 1 election – two on the Juneau Assembly and three on the school board. There are a few citizen initiatives that could also land on the ballot, and it’s a mayoral election.Assembly seats currently filled by members Michelle Hale and Wáahlaal Gídaag Barbara Blake will be up for grabs. But, both told KTOO that they don’t plan to run for reelection.
