TOP OF THE BALLOT

Dave Bronson’s top opponents — Suzanne LaFrance, Chris Tuck and Bill Popp — say they’ll put an end to conflict between the Assembly and the mayor’s office. Bronson says his reelection is necessary to keep balance in city government and put a check on the Assembly’s power.

The election comes at a time when the district faces significant challenges, and pits incumbents against candidates who say they want to see fundamental changes to how the board operates.

From trail access to elementary school improvements, from public restrooms to new cemeteries, here’s what propositions and bonds Anchorage voters will decide in the 2024 municipal election.
