1. Why are you running for mayor?
DAVE BRONSON: I’m running for mayor because the city that I’ve lived in for 30 years, where I’ve raised my kids and where I intend on growing old, has become unrecognizable. I can no longer just sit on the sidelines and enjoy the benefits of living in this great city as it deteriorates. It’s time for me to get involved and change the direction of Anchorage.
FORREST DUNBAR: I’m running for mayor because I want to make Anchorage an even better place to live, and because we need fact-based leadership to beat COVID and get our economy back on track. I believe Anchorage can be an exciting city with strong public safety, thriving businesses, good-paying jobs and a top-tier education system. My time on the Assembly, as well as the work I’ve done with the Muldoon Farmers Market, Anchorage Park Foundation and Scenic Foothills Community Council, has prepared me to hit the ground running on Day One. Our community has advantages few cities share, including world-class trails, a deep Indigenous history and a diverse population. Those advantages position us for a strong economic recovery and long-term growth thereafter. Our best days are still ahead of us.
