So far, there are more impending openings on the City and Borough of Juneau Assembly than there are candidates for the upcoming municipal election.<\/p>\n
As of Tuesday morning, three incumbent City and Borough of Juneau Assembly members — Carole Triem, Alicia Hughes-Skandijs and Wade Bryson — had filed their paperwork with the city to run for three of four open seats.<\/p>\n
Triem, who was first to file, is running for the one open areawide seat, which has a three-year term.<\/p>\n
Hughes-Skandijs is running in District 1, which encompasses downtown Juneau, Lemon Creek, Douglas, the airport and all points south.<\/p>\n

Becker cannot seek re-election since she has served three terms. That means the district will have openings for both a three-year term seat and one-year term seat.<\/p>\n Bryson is running for District 2’s lone open seat, which has a 3-year term, and submitted his paperwork Monday, CBJ Deputy Clerk Diane Cathcart told the Empire. District 2 comprises the Mendenhall Valley, Auke Bay and points north.<\/p>\n Assembly seats aren’t the only elected positions that will be up for grabs during the Tuesday, Oct. 1 municipal election. However, they are the only openings to draw candidates.<\/p>\n There are two impending openings for the Juneau School District School Board and no one has filed to attempt to fill them.<\/p>\n
