The Anchorage Assembly voted decisively Tuesday night not to put forward a ballot measure proposed by Mayor Dave Bronson making the city’s clerk, an office that oversees elections and other duties, an elected position.
Municipal Clerk Barbara Jones, seated, explains the ballot adjudication process to then mayoral candidate Dave Bronson, right, on Wednesday, April 7, 2021 at the Municipality of Anchorage election center.
“The Anchorage municipal clerk’s office is running smoothly,” Assembly Chair Suzanne LaFrance said in advance of discussion during Tuesday’s meeting. Members of the Assembly, as well as civic groups such as the Anchorage League of Women Voters, disagreed, saying the move would make the city’s highest elections official a politician beholden to funders and campaigns.
