Political observers say they're seeing a level of coordination and organization in the elections for Anchorage Assembly and school board that they haven’t seen before.
Randy Sulte, who is running against Weddleton in South Anchorage, said he, Taylor and Midtown candidate Kathy Henslee, all first-time candidates for office, began sharing advice as they figured out how to run a campaign. Soon, Liz Vazquez, candidate for West Anchorage and former Republican state representative; Eagle River candidate Kevin Cross; and the two conservative school board candidates joined in.
“That’s a mayor’s race amount of money,” Hall said. It’s more than what’s often raised in state legislative races, she said. There’s been a clear mobilization on behalf of the conservative candidates from the same political base that helped to elect Bronson, Slomski-Pritz said. Bronson has actively aimed to flip Assembly seats since the day of his inauguration, when independent expenditure group Open For Business Anchorage — previously named Open For Business with Bronson — held a fundraiser for the Assembly races.personal campaign donations to some of the aligned candidates.spent $50,000 on radio ads purchased through a Florida-based company in support of the four challengers.
But it is rarer for a mayoral administration to play such a visible role in Assembly races. In one such instance, Bronson called in to a conservative radio talk show and challenged political messaging he had seen in campaign advertisements from incumbents.The four conservative challengers are following a nearly identical playbook in terms of spending their war chests.
Ship Creek Group, which is managing three of the campaigns, has worked for a number of moderate and left-leaning candidates in Alaska politics recently.But overall, there’s more variety in, for example, how much one candidate is spending on social media ads versus the others, or how many mailers they are sending to voters.
