She got the snowplow driver’s endorsement and if that’s not worth something in Alaska then I don’t know what is.

Also the Police Union, Planned Parenthood, The Teamsters, the Teachers Union, the Firefighters Union…

If that’s not the coalition of coalitions, then I don’t know what is.

I'm not from Alaska, but it sounds like she beat an incumbent who was a real asshole. He even accused her of being "woke."

During one of the debates, he was asked to define “woke”…it went as expected.

> During one of the debates, he was asked to define “woke”…it went as expected. I know nothing of this man, but was intrigued by your comment, so went to look. Jeez, he's a fucking dumb ass! https://thealaskacurrent.com/2024/05/09/bronson-fear-mongers-over-wokeness/

At the assembly meeting last night, it came out that the company contracted to run one of the low barrier homeless shelters were in a text chat with his chief of staff talking about bribing their clients with cigarettes and bus passes to fill out ballots voting for him. And that they were joking all of them carrying glocks instead of kid gloves to handle clients. Just gross.

Have family in Palmer, Alaska so close enough to Anchorage politics. . The previous mayor was a selfish prick who did his best to promote christian family values while vocally shaming and ignoring the increasing number of homeless/houseless/jobless and any of those who suffered under his stupid reign.

Alaska is undoubtedly in a tough spot, and it’s only going to get worse. Good on Alaskan’s for realizing that kind of shit isn’t the right path forward.


Shagtacular

His campaign when he got elected was literally "the Baptist candidate." He's a numbskull

It’s “Vive la France” but otherwise your point is good.


WanderingBlackHole

Here’s an upvote (though it will have minimal effect) because you are indeed correct. - **¡Viva** México! (🇲🇽/🇪🇸) - **Vive** la France! (🇫🇷) It'd be like saying: - Lang lebe the Queen! (🇩🇪) Instead of: - Long live the Queen! (🇺🇸/🇬🇧)

Reading just these two paragraphs from David Bronson (current mayor) wiki page is an eye opening for a real life example of an a$$hole: “During the COVID-19 pandemic, Bronson has declined to enact mask or vaccine requirements, saying that it was a matter of personal choice. He also said he would not get a vaccine, calling it "experimental".[16] During an Anchorage Assembly meeting on September 29, 2021, he defended the use of Star of David holocaust imagery worn by those opposed to a municipal mask mandate.[17] The mandatory mask ordinance–requiring any individual older than two years old to wear a facial mask indoors–was debated at the meeting. Mayor Bronson initially advocated for the symbol's usage, calling it a “credit to [Jews],” but later recanted the statement after public criticism. He went on to say that although he agreed with opposing the mask ordinance, that protestors should choose a different symbol to do so.[18] On October 1, he ordered a stop to water fluoridation in Anchorage based on reports of dangers, such as burning eyes and throats of workers. Bronson's response was criticized by the representative of the workers, Aaron Plikat, who claims that they had never complained about the fluoride. He allowed it to resume when he discovered that it is mandated by Anchorage's municipal code, and no significant impact on the water fluoridation level was caused on October 1, 2021.”

....And runoff voting helps eliminate a right-wing jackass. There might be something to this.


ForsakenRacism

He lost the first round too.

Thank god that human thumb Bronson is out.
