Mark Littlefield of Eagle River made it official this week, filing with the Anchorage Clerk to run in a special election being conducted to fill the remaining year of Assemblyman Kevin Cross’s term in office. Cross is stepping away from public life after serving two out of his three-year term for Eagle River/Chugiak.
Littlefield enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and came to Alaska in 1982, retiring from active duty in 1995 and going to work for the Municipality of Anchorage. He retired last fall after 28 years doing work such as being a street maintenance operator, solid waste service operator, street maintenance supervisor, and superintendent of road maintenance for the Chugiak, Birchwood, Eagle River Rural Road Service Area.
In his most recent position with Eagle River Street Maintenance, from 2010 to 2023, Littlefield supported the community by managing the contract workforce through many road renovations, landslides, the 2018 earthquake, and the 2022 Hiland Valley avalanche. In 2020, he was awarded the Municipality of Anchorage Supervisor of the year for his service as the Superintendent of Eagle River street maintenance.
Mark has also served on the Eagle River Parks and Recreation Board of Supervisors, as the alternate to the Eagle River Valley Community Council, and was recently appointed the mayor’s seat at that council.
He was previously served on his HOA board of supervisors.
“I strive to be a conscientious conservative individual that is dedicated to any position that I hold,” Littlefield said. “I strongly feel that we all have our own financial worries and believe that any elected official and public servants have an obligation to be not only transparent but great stewards of the taxes that are paid to support our great community.”
Littlefield continued, “I promise to strive to support our great community to the best of my ability. I look forward to earning the trust and votes of the people of Eagle River, Chugiak, and Birchwood in coming months, and hope to make our community proud on the Assembly.”
So far, Littlefield is the only candidate to file with the Municipal Clerk, although Cody Raymond Anderson has filed a letter of intent with the Alaska Public Offices Commission, allowing him to begin running for the seat. Filing deadline is Friday, Jan. 26, in the Municipal Clerk’s office or Municipal Election Office. See all the current candidates for various offices in the March-April election at this link.
I am fairly well acquainted with Mark, and I think he would be a conscientious and respectful representative for Chugiak and Eagle River on the municipal assembly.
(Of course, he and the other two non-Marxists on the ass-embly would be routinely outvoted and sidelined by the totalitarian Marxist Nine.)
I wish him the best of luck. I am impressed with his military service and his work ethic.
It would be nice if we could take back our Anchorage assembly from the racketeers that are running it.
Sounds promising…
I wish him the best, and hope he doesn’t get discouraged by the negative and mostly toxic group that he will be working with. But it seems to me that only strong arm tactics with public exposure of the assembly’s hidden agenda can offer any reprieve for our small representation. I think that we need someone like Chucky, with a strong legal background and cutthroat lawyers on retainer. But at least he seems to have integrity, so I will offer my support, with my thanks for his service, past and future.
A definite improvement on Kevin Cross, whom it would appear only got on to the Assembly to help himself. I’m hard pressed to name anything Cross did to help ER.
