## Resource

Juneau’s local election filing window is open, with three Assembly and two school board seats up for grabs — no mayoral race this year. Incumbent Paul Kelly seeks reelection, pushing forward on housing, homelessness, and new priorities like flood control and waste management. Newcomer Joyce Niven, a housing veteran with 35 years in Juneau, is running for District 2. School board seats are also seeing familiar faces return. Voters will also decide on two citizen initiatives: a property tax cap and a seasonal sales tax for recreation. Ballots hit mailboxes in mid-September, with voting in early October — shaping up to be a pivotal and dynamic election season.
