No matter what happens at the polls, the seven-member panel will look much different in 2022.
However, only one of City Council’s current members whose seat is on the ballot, Democrat Liz Allen, chose to seek re-election.
Besides Allen, a former reporter and editor at the Erie Times-News who was first elected to City Council in 2017, the other Democrats on the ballot are Jasmine Flores; Elspeth “Kate” Koehle; Kendrick Tate; Cory DiLoreto; Marcus P. Yuille; Maurice “Mo” Troop; and Chuck Nelson, a pastor who lives in the city’s west bayfront.
Flores, Koehle and Tate are running as a slate affiliated with local social justice group Erie County United.

Print article Shawn Lyons poet, classical guitarist, teacher, historian, restauranteur and an adventurous hiker who left his footprints across the Chugach Mountains and far, far beyond died suddenly Tuesday at an Anchorage hospital. He was 66. Lyons was the unique center of a wildly diverse Venn diagram. He wrote the multi-volume “Walk-About Guide to Alaska,” was a board member of the Alaska Huts Association, played classical guitar nightly at a Mediterranean restaurant, taught music and English at UAA, wrote poetry and was a regular on a podcast that discussed philosophy and psychology.
