"Alaska Mayor Who Proposed One-Way Tickets for Homeless Loses Election"

Anchorage Mayor Dave Bronson, who proposed giving the homeless one-way plane tickets out of the city, conceded the runoff election to Suzanne LaFrance. LaFrance, a former chair of the Anchorage Assembly, won with 54% of the vote and will take office on July 1. Bronson's tenure was marked by clashes with the assembly and issues like homelessness and snow removal. LaFrance aims to "restore competency" to City Hall and becomes the first female elected mayor of Anchorage.
