The Ketchikan Gateway Borough Assembly seat that was vacated by Rep.-elect Jeremy Bynum will be filled by former Assemblyman Alan Bailey.
Bailey receive two thirds of the vote from the borough Assembly on Monday night, with Rep. Dan Ortiz, who has retired from the Legislature, receiving just two votes.
Bynum ran for the second time for House in 2024, but this time, incumbent Ortiz decided that he would not continue, after serving since 2014.
Bailey previously served nine years on the Assembly, for three terms. He was also a superintendent for the Ketchikan Correctional Center.
Getting no votes from the Assembly was candidate Robb Arnold, a purser with the Alaska Marine Highway System.
