In Angoon, voters will fill two seats on the city council. Edward Jack, Sr., and Maxine Thompson have filed for council seat “A.” Dennis Jack, Rocky Estrada, Jr., and Daniel Johnson, Jr. are on the ballot for council seat “B.”
In Kake, voters will fill three city council seats. Two of the vacancies are three-year terms; one of the vacancies is a one-year term.
The five candidates on the ballot in Kake are Edna Jackson, Emily Davis, Virlinda M. Wilson, Delbert Kadake, and Tom Henderson.
Five candidates are also running for two three-year terms on the school board in Kake. They are: Patti Handy, Delbert Kadake, Henry Copsey, Renee Kadake, and Michele Friday.
Pelican is also filling council and school board seats. Incumbent Patricia Phillips and Clint Bean are vying for a three-year term as mayor. Tom Andrews is the only candidate to have filed for one of two open council seats. The second three-year school board term will go to a write-in.
There is also only one candidate for two open school board seats in Pelican: Vance Ady-Wirta is running unopposed for a one-year term.
Tenakee Springs voters will fill two city council seats. The three candidates on the ballot are Steve Lewis, Alan “Elk” Hunter, and Paul Keithahn.
In Port Alexander, all city council seats are up for grabs. That community replaces its council every year exclusively with write-in votes. The clerk’s office there says it’s a pretty straightforward way to run an election in a small town, but it does take time to make sure the winning candidates are qualified to serve.
Yakutat will also fill three vacancies on its city council this year by write-in vote. The Yakutat election will not be held until October 19th, but the clerk’s office there reports the filing period for assembly has closed with no declared candidates. Incumbent mayor Dave Stone has filed to return to his seat unopposed. April Newlun has filed for one of two open seats on the school board.
KCAW will report on Yakutat’s election results on October 20th.
