The first batch of results are in for the Anchorage municipal election.
April 5, 2022
So far, in the year’s most expensive race, incumbent Forrest Dunbar is holding a lead over challenger Stephanie Taylor to represent East Anchorage on the Anchorage Assembly. Initial results show Dunbar with 57% of the vote, Taylor with 41% and Christopher Hall with 3%. To represent West Anchorage, Assembly member Kameron Perez-Verdia is holding a lead over challengers Liz Vazquez and Nial Sherwood Williams. Perez-Verdia has 54% of the vote with Vazquez at 40% and Williams at 5%.
While the races are technically non-partisan, a slate of conservative Assembly and school board candidates fundraised and campaigned together to unseat the incumbents, with support from Mayor Dave Bronson. The group included Assembly candidates Henslee, Sulte, Taylor and Vazquez, plus school board candidates Cox and Ries.
