Recounts in two Anchorage-area legislative races are scheduled to take place this week.
A state elections official says a recount is planned for Wednesday in the Senate District E race and for Thursday in the House District 15 race.
The recounts will take place in Juneau. The recount in the Senate race was requested by Democrat Roselynn Cacy, who was the first of the three candidates in that ranked vote contest to be eliminated. The race was won by Republican Cathy Giessel, a former Senate president. Incumbent Republican Rep. Roger Holland also competed. Democrat Denny Wells requested a recount in the Anchorage House race.Copyright 2022 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Anchorage Community Theatre is, and has always been, a passion projectMatt Fernandez and David Block love theater, so much so that they've dedicated their lives to local theater, specifically the Anchorage Community Theatre.

Of course they do, but they have a sense of humor and history about their craft and take great pride in getting shows off the ground and up and running. Theater passion is real and lives inside these two and the actors that choose to perform in local theater.
