Jenny Di Grappa, a liberal who filed to run against Felix Rivera in District 4 for the Anchorage Assembly, pulled out of the race this week. Although she missed the withdrawal deadline, the Anchorage Municipal Clerk has crossed her name off the list, and she won’t appear on the April 4 ballot, and won’t take votes away from Rivera.
Remaining in the race is liberal standard-bearer Rivera, who drives for DoorDash and is trying for his third and final term on the Assembly, and conservative Travis Szanto, a builder and principle of Skyworks LLC, who is known for his innovative treehouses.
Di Grappa withdrew on Feb. 1. By leaving the race, she strengthens Rivera, who has served on the Assembly since 2017, after having been a member of the staff of former Mayor Ethan Berkowitz.
