BUT TAKE A LOOK AT MAYOR BRONSON’S LIST OF SUPPORTERS
Anchorage mayoral candidate Chris Tuck has cinched another prize endorsement — the Alaska Democratic Party.
While Tuck’s main rival on the left is Suzanne LaFrance, she is not a registered member of the party, and therefore will have to forego the endorsement.
Tuck, a Democrat who retired from the Alaska State House in January, has a substantial list of leftists supporting him for mayor. His campaign kickoff fundraiser included heavyweight names in the Democratic apparatchik, like Tom Begich, Les Gara, Berta Gardner, Cliff Groh, Elvi Gray-Jackson, Andy Josephson, Loki Tobin she/her, Bill Wielechowski, Pat and Patti Higgins.
As much as the LaFrance camp is trying to savage his reputation in the media, Tuck is actually stacking up a bigger list of supporters.
LaFrance, running to the left of Tuck, also has several big-name Democrats or Democrat surrogates behind her, including hardliners Scott Kendall, Forrest Dunbar, Zack Fields, Alyse Galvin, Andrew Gray, Cliff Groh (also on Tuck’s list), Donna Mears, Calvin Schrage, Anna Brawley, Karen Bronga, Chris Constant, Kameron Perez-Verdia, Felix Rivera, Daniel Volland, Meg Zaletel, Margo Bellamy, Andy Holleman, Kelly Lessens, and Mike Edgington, to name a few.
Mayor Dave Bronson, who is holding a big fundraiser for his reelection campaign next week, came in with an impressive list for his campaign, including Gov. Mike Dunleavy and Sen. Dan Sullivan, Kelly and Niki Tshibaka, and Ann Young:
