Incumbent Mayor Dave Bronson is attempting to sway voters by leaning into Suzanne LaFrance’s association with the Assembly.
The Anchorage Chamber of Commerce hosted a runoff debate between mayoral candidates Dave Bronson, left, and Suzanne LaFrance at the Petroleum Club of Anchorage on April 29, 2024.
“He thinks he has a better chance of winning if his opponent is the Assembly, not Suzanne,” said political consultant Jim Lottsfeldt, who has worked for the LaFrance campaign. “So, he’s ignoring Suzanne, and running against the Assembly.” Recently, Bronson has ramped up direct criticisms of the Assembly, particularly surrounding the city’s homelessness problems.

And then the rules — the laws — for spending public money were broken,” LaFrance said, referring to the administration“These people are living the consequences of the Assembly’s failure to provide shelter,” he said.
LaFrance has said she decided to run for mayor because of her “front-row view” to the Bronson administration’s “negative impact.” An independent expenditure group supporting Bronson, called Keep It Alaska, recently jumped into the fray with text message blasts to voters. One message called LaFrance “extremely far left” and questioned her endorsement by a local chapter of Democrats.
