Print article Candidates running for Anchorage mayor and the Anchorage School Board this year must be ready to tackle tough issues including a global pandemic, an economic crisis and reopening schools as they vie for votes in a crowded race. By 5 p.m. Friday, when registration for candidacy closed, 14 people had filed for the mayor’s office. Multiple people had also filed for each of the four school board seats open.
