There are three seats open on both the Assembly and School Board.
The other two Assembly candidates are Amanda “AJ” Pierce and Alan Bailey. For School Board, the other two candidates are David Timmerman and incumbent Diane Gubatayao.
There also are three seats open on the Ketchikan City Council this year, and so far only the incumbents have filed to run. They are David Kiffer, Dick Coose and Mark Flora.
