Alaska Democrats are proud to endorse these candidates for the 2026 Municipal elections:
Sydney Scout | Seat 1, Downtown
Sydney is running for the Anchorage Assembly to put her boots-on-the-ground experience to work locally, with a focus on housing stability, safer neighborhoods, reliable city services, and accountability at City Hall.
She believes local government should work for everyday people and is committed to listening, collaborating, and delivering straightforward, practical results for North Anchorage families.
Rachel Blakeslee | School Board Seat C
Rachel is a former classroom teacher and a longtime advocate for public education. Rachel is running for a seat on the Anchorage School Board because like so many families and educators, she’s exhausted by the constant churn of crises in our school system, and she believes we must do better.
Paul McDonogh | School Board Seat D
We’re working to strengthen our schools, support our families, and build a more vibrant and sustainable Alaska for everyone.
