Five candidates have filed to run for Bethel City Council elections: Norman Ayagalria, Fritz Charles, Mary Nanuwak, Fredrick Watson, and Mary Weiss. Weiss already serves on council after taking Chuck Herman’s spot following his resignation earlier this year.

Council members serve two-year terms. Byron Maczynski and Zach Fansler’s terms are ending this year, and neither of them have filed for re-election. This week Fansler won the House District 38 Democratic Primary, and with no competitor, he’s expected to win the general election.

The last day to file as a candidate is this Monday, August 22 at 12 noon. Bethel City Council elections are October 4. 

Anna Rose MacArthur served as KYUK's News Director from 2015-2022.
