Hometown Alaska will host RUNNING 2021: Runoff Candidates for Mayor Monday May 3 from 10-11 am. Both candidates will join us for the program. Questions are welcome from the listening audience (see format below). The program will air again at 8 pm Monday evening and will be podcast on this page afterward.

FORMAT: Hometown Alaska has three segments and we’ll use those segments to organize the discussion between candidates.

Segment One (first 20 minutes): Questions from the moderator for the candidates.

Segment Two (next 20 minutes): Candidates pose questions to each other. If candidates run out of questions or this format proves otherwise unproductive, the moderator will resume questions.

Segment Three: (last 20 minutes): Questions from the public. If we run short of questions, the moderator will ask more questions.

ELECTION REMINDER: Mail-in ballots are already in the community and are due by Monday, May 11. Get all the voting details at muni.org/elections.
