Woll and Morris both live in the Mendenhall Valley – a requirement to run for a District 2 seat – but Juneau voters can vote in all races on the ballot. Juneau Assembly member Christine Woll says the city could make it easier for developers to build housing. Her opponent, David Morris, calls for more transparency in local government.
Woll has served on the Assembly for the last three years. In an interview, she said her highest priority is housing, and she thinks her experience would serve her well in a second term.
“They have spent a lot of their time behind closed doors and in executive session,” Morris said in an interview. Morris is a retired swim coach, former Alaska Marine Highway System employee and member of the Family Promise of Juneau’s board of directors. He agrees that Juneau needs more housing. To get there, he said in an interview, he supports areawide candidate“If you built high-end housing here, the people that are in middle housing that are ready to move up would go take those houses,” he said.
“I know people are feeling strapped right now. My monthly house payment went up this year, like most people in Juneau, and that’s not easy,” she said. “The good news is that Juneau’s economy continues to grow, which has allowed us to lower the mill rate, even when personnel and materials go up. Ideally, if other revenue sources grow, we can keep property taxes stable.”
