An assembly ordinance and ballot proposition passed in Anchorage in 2003 had lowered the threshold required to avoid a mayoral runoff from 50% of the vote to 45%.[2] Since Begich surpassed this margin, no runoff was necessary. Wuerch was the first, and until 2024 only, mayor of Anchorage to lose re-election since it became a borough in 1975.
Candidates
Mark Begich, former Anchorage Assemblyman, 1994 and 2000 mayoral candidate
