Anchorage Mayor Dan Sullivan says he will seek the job of lieutenant governor.
The mayor in a statement early Wednesday morning says he’s running because of his love for Alaska and desire to serve the state during a challenging time in history.
Sullivan says that in four years as mayor, his administration has restored the fiscal health of the city while keeping a lid on property taxes.
The Republican says Anchorage is one of the few cities that has seen its bond rating upgraded.
