5 questions with Anchorage Assembly candidates

The Anchorage municipal election is April 5. It will be conducted by mail, and ballots have already been sent out. (More on how to vote here.)

Among what voters will weigh in on: filling five seats on the 11-member Anchorage Assembly. Assembly members are chosen by voters in their district and elected to 3-year terms.

To help sift through the candidates, the Anchorage Daily News sent them a list of survey questions. Here’s the Anchorage Assembly candidates’ answers to five of those questions, and for more visit adn.com.
