Crane vacates assembly seat to run for mayor

For the second time in about a month, the Juneau Assembly must appoint a new member. The filing period opens Tuesday for an assembly seat left vacant by Karen Crane.

Crane resigned last week from her District 2 seat after announcing she was running for mayor. Crane and Ken Koelsch are the only two candidates running for mayor in the March 15 special election. Filing closed Monday.

Candidates for Crane’s District 2 seat have until Feb. 4 to file.
