Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

Of course there will be rats that go down with the ship (Jackson, Boebert, Greene, Hannity, Ingraham, Bannon, Hageman, Kavanaugh, Barrett, Noem, Bondi, Patel, Kennedy, and so on).
