such as 2018’s race for two District 2 seats<\/a>, Shoemake’s vote total would have been enough to win a seat.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tShoemake declined to definitively say whether he might run for office again, but it’s something he wouldn’t rule out.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
In the District 1 race, Hughes-Skandijs received 6,350 votes to Kenny Solomon-Gross’ 5,044. Solomon-Gross did not immediately return a call seeking comment.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
“I’m feeling pretty excited to see the latest results just now,” Hughes-Skandijs said in a phone interview. “Feeling pretty thankful to the voters and supporters and volunteers.”<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
Hughes-Skandijs said she was impressed by the elections robust voter turnout, which unofficial results put at 42.6%. It’s the first time in 20 years turnout in a municipal election has topped 40%, according to city data.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
She said she’s glad to have secured a three-year term. Hughes-Skandijs was first appointed to the Assembly in early 2019 and won a one-year term on the Assembly that October. This election was her second time on a ballot since her appountment.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
“This will be my first three-year term, which will be funny,” Hughes-Skandijs said. “I’m really excited to have what most people normally have, which is three years to do the work.”<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
Giving them props<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\tVoters rejected one ballot proposition, but OK’d another one, according to unofficial results. A $15 million bond package that is meant to generate funds for city projects, including school roof repairs, passed 6,912-4,664, according to unofficial results.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
A proposition that would have established a charter commission was rejected 7,424-3,957, according to unofficial results. The proposition, which is required by City and Borough of Juneau’s charter to appear on ballots every 10 years, has failed every time it has appeared on ballots.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
