One of 33 campaign signs that Mayor Dave Bronson’s reelection campaign says were vandalized this campaign season.
“These acts of destruction not only damage private property, but undermine the democratic values that Anchorage voters expect and deserve,” Bronson’s campaign said in a statement. “My campaign signs are apparently being vandalized for my support of Israel,” Bronson said in a statement. “So be it. I stand in solidarity with the people of Israel.”
A supporter of Suzanne LaFrance’s mayoral campaign reported a damaged sign and trash thrown on their property. “Initially, someone came by and painted over the word ‘Suzanne’ with, like white spray paint,” Heckendorn said. “And then I think they decided that wasn’t effective enough, because you could still see ‘LaFrance For Mayor.’ So they came back and creased the sign, then folded the sign over. And I think a couple of times, they’ve just dumped trash all over our signs and sidewalk.”
