"swearing in"

Fog prevented Mike Dunleavy from being sworn in as governor in Noorvik. But that didn’t stop the community from celebrating.

Dunelavy was sworn in at the Kotzebue Middle School — a deviation from the original plan to conduct the swearing-in in Noorvik, 40 miles east of Kotzebue.

The transition team said Alaskans can expect a combination of formal events and less formal, family-centered events across the state in December.

The village, about 40 miles from Kotzebue, is where his wife Rose Dunleavy is from.

The Walker-Mallott inauguration ceremony begins at 11:30 a.m. Monday at Centennial Hall.

For the first time in nine years Alaska’s Capital City has a new mayor.
