The filing period for municipal elections in Haines is over. Six candidates are vying for two spots.
On October 1st Haines voters will cast their votes for Borough Assembly and School Board.
Terms are up for Assembly members Heather Lende and Tom Morphet. Neither will seek re-election this fall.
There’s a line-up of six candidates to replace them: Paul Rogers, Diana Lapham, Zephyr Sincerny, Sally McGuire, Sean Gaffney, and Gabe Thomas.
Three seats are up for re-election on the Haines School Board. Tracy Wirak, Lindsey Dixon, and Michelle Sloper filed to run.
There is still an opportunity for Assembly or School Board hopefuls to run as write-in candidates, but only candidates who filed before August 20th will appear on the ballot.
This story has been corrected to reflect new information from the Haines Borough. Since publication, Diana Lapham has withdrawn from the race.
I don’t believe this is wholly accurate… there are three school board seats and I am a confirmed candidate for the school board as well. Thanks!
Can KHNS update with a complete listing of school board vacancies and candidates?
