Former Assembly Chair Suzanne LaFrance has a sizable advantage in the amount of money being spent by independent expenditure groups in support of her mayoral candidacy.
In the runoff election to be Anchorage’s next mayor, former Assembly Chair Suzanne LaFrance has a sizable advantage in the amount of money being spent on her candidacy by independent expenditure groups. Incumbent Mayor Dave Bronson, who benefited from a deluge of spending on his behalf from political action groups in the 2021 runoff, is seeing barely any of that kind of support this time around.
Until those disclosures are published, there’s limited public information on how much candidates are raising, from whom, and what they are spending it on. Transactions by independent expenditure groups, which are bound by different reporting requirements, are another way of assessing where candidates’ supporters and allies are applying their resources.
907 Action, the registered group for the 907 Initiative, which bills itself as an ethics-in-government watchdog, spent several thousand dollars heading into the April election on behalf of LaFrance and three progressive-leaning school board members. The organization has not filed any public expenditures so far during the runoff.
