Anchorage Municipal Elections 2026

One ballot initiative is a roughly $80 million bond. The other is a one-time $11.8 million tax hike that school district leaders plan on using to hire 80 teachers.

Two seats on the Anchorage School Board are also up for election. Anchorage’s municipal election is set for April 7.

ASD superintendent Jharrett Bryantt said his intention is to use all of the funding to fill more than 80 teaching positions, with the goal of reducing class sizes across the district.

Mayor LaFrance wants the Assembly to pause other revenue proposals, including her 3% sales tax, to focus on the $12 million education tax levy.

With broken infrastructure and no long-term maintenance funding, the PAC reflects a larger city problem.
