It hasn’t been confirmed that the vandalism is an organized effort, but one group organizer said there seems to be a pattern of the same candidate signs being vandalized over and over again.
Some say the recent incidents are worse than those in the past and are possibly deliberately targeting specific campaigns.
The Ship Creek Group conducts political projects for some candidates around Anchorage. Slomski-Pritz said he’s been receiving texts almost every day of a new candidate sign that’s been destroyed from various locations across the city. Amber Lee, a campaign consultant for Assembly candidate Anna Brawley, says their campaign has been dealing with a great amount of vandalism as well.“Our campaign has experienced serious sign damage throughout the campaign, which has escalated during these last weeks,” Lee said. “Signs have been stolen, sandbags ripped, and signs have been cut apart with razors and spray painted.
“I believe that is entirely unacceptable,” Johnson said. “But I’m not going to get intimidated, I’m not going to back down, I’m just going to keep doing what I’m doing and make the best effort I can to reach out to as many folks as possible and tell them, ‘Hey, I think there’s hope for our city still.’”
