Wasilla Mayor Glenda Ledford glided to reelection, overcoming her challenger, Bee Rupright, 266-105, with absentees and early voting yet to be counted.
The election Tuesday was a test to see if Wasilla is still a conservative stronghold in Alaska, and it appears to be.
Ledford is a strong political figure throughout the state, having moved to Alaska in 1986, and running her own small business, a salon, for many years. Rupright was not able to define a lane for herself, with Ledford retaining strong support from the conservative heart of Alaska.
