Election: Bronson gets Mayor Dan Sullivan endorsement, raises $66,000 in three weeks, has $161,000 cash on hand with seven days to go

As of Tuesday, March 26, some 22,252 Anchorage voters have cast ballots in the municipal election, according to the city’s election division. That’s more than 5,000 voting in the past four days. There’s just one week left for Anchorage voters to get their ballots mailed or dropped in the secure drop boxes around town.

On Tuesday, Mayor Dave Bronson’s campaigned announced that it’s gathering steam with the endorsement of former Mayor Dan Sullivan, who served for two terms, from 2009 to 2015.

Bronson’s campaign reported $66,063 in raised funds over the past three weeks and is sitting on $161,071 for the final get-out-the-vote push.

He is running for a second term against former Assembly chairwoman Suzanne LaFrance, Chris Tuck, Bill Popp, and a handful of other candidates, all of them representing left-of-center politics.

The Bronson three-week donation report shows that 349 individuals donated to his campaign, and 226 of those donations were of $100 or less, showing strong regular-voter appeal.

“Our campaign is powered by the people of Anchorage, and we’re humbled by the outpouring of support,” Bronson said. “The diversity and volume of donations we’ve received tell us our message of accountable, responsive government is resonating with voters across the spectrum. From small-dollar donors contributing what they can to larger investments in our shared vision, every donation is a vote of confidence in our journey toward a more prosperous Anchorage.”

Bronson said he was grateful for the support he has seen growing daily for his reelection.

“Together, we are paving the way for a future where Anchorage grows and thrives, guided by servant leadership that values integrity, accountability, and respect for every citizen,” Bronson said.
