In his first extended interview with the ADN since taking office, Anchorage Mayor Dave Bronson expressed confidence that he has a path to winning reelection. He also acknowledged some missteps during his two years as mayor.
“We, quite frankly, are a countervailing force against, I think, what I would consider a fairly ‘woke,’ left Assembly, by and large. And I think it’s important that you have balance in government. I think we provide that balance,” Bronson said.
He criticized the city’s election system, which includes vote-by-mail, and said that distrust in it may be discouraging conservatives from voting. After the 2022 city election, which saw several Assembly incumbents reelected, Bronson launched an inquiry. He cited complaints from election observers, out-of-state audit of the city’s election technology.
“... Do I think we should go back to day-of voting, the old way? Yeah, I do. Because it’s far less expensive. And it’s far quicker in getting the vote results out,” he said. “But as far as cheating, I don’t — I just don’t see it, I’ll be honest with you.”
