The municipality of Anchorage, Alaska, held election for mayor on April 7, 2015. A runoff election took place on May 5, 2015.[1][2] The filing deadline for candidates who wished to run in this election was February 13, 2015.[3]
Candidates for the general election included Jacob Seth Kern, Dustin Darden, Amy Demboski, Timothy Huit, Christopher Jamison, Samuel Joseph Speziale III, Ethan Berkowitz, Andrew Halcro, Dan Coffey, Paul Bauer, Lance Ahern, and Spencer Halgren. Because no candidate received a majority of the votes, the top two candidates—Demboski and Berkowitz—faced each other in a runoff election on May 5. Berkowitz was the winner.[4][5] Incumbent Dan Sullivan did not run for re-election.[6]
