David Carey previously served as Kenai Peninsula Borough Mayor, after winning the election in 2008.
In a statement released on social media, Carey states;
“Today, I did something I have told myself I would never do again. I filed to run for Borough Mayor in the Special Election to be held in 10 weeks on 14 February. The purpose of my Campaign: “I want us to stop telling kids they are of no value unless they go to college! That is a LIE that kills. I know what it is to be at the top! We have the break-up of family and values, we have drugs and sex, we have suicide. Our kids deserve to be valued for the person they are, not the False DREAM! That is why I run for Borough Mayor!”
The Special Mayoral Election is mandated for the election of a Kenai Peninsula Borough Mayor to fill the vacancy generated by the resignation of former Borough Mayor Charlie Pierce.
Candidates interested in running for Borough Mayor can currently apply with a deadline of 4:30 p.m. November 30th, 2022.
