What this office is

The Mayor of Juneau is the elected head of the City and Borough of Juneau — a unified home-rule city-borough, the capital of Alaska. The charter is council-manager: an Assembly sets policy, a Manager runs the day-to-day, and the Mayor is elected at-large, chairs the Assembly, and does not hold a veto. That is a clock on this city, not a slight. The Mayor’s term is three years. The next regular Mayor election is 2027. Confirm the clock, and the Mayor of record, on official Juneau sites. 2026 is a municipal year for Assembly seats. It is not a Mayor year.

This is not the Governor. The Governor file lives at Governor of Alaska. Alaska has no elected county sheriffs. City police and Capital City Fire/Rescue are this municipality’s departments.

Juneau is the capital. Anchorage is not the capital. Fairbanks is not the capital. The Gastineau Channel, the mountains that actually stand here, Douglas, the valley, and the neighborhoods that never make a national broadcast hire the same Mayor. This city-borough is the whole map.

How the job fits this community

The inbox is a city inbox: a night shift on the channel, a fire run that is this hydrant, a ferry-terminal minute, a rain-and-slide street that is not a Governor file, and a capital-session week that is not Anchorage.

Staff who only know Anchorage as Alaska, or only know the capitol as the whole town, are not doing the job. Sitka is a different city. Ketchikan is a different city. The channel remains Juneau.

What the job entails

  • Chair the Assembly. Not a Governor. Not a Manager.
  • Police, fire, EMS as this municipality’s departments.
  • Lights, streets, water, harbors the charter actually gives.
  • One home. This city-borough.
