Mat-Su voters back major road and school funding while incumbents keep their seats, preliminary results show

What you need to know:

  • Preliminary Mat-Su voting results show both a $36.4 million bond for 10 major road projects and a $58 million proposal to fund three new charter school buildings won voter approval. A fire service area change for Caswell and Willow also appeared to pass.
  • All incumbents appeared to retain their seats in the Mat-Su Mayor, Assembly, and School Board races, according to preliminary results. Newcomer Andrew Shane ran unopposed for the School Board District 4 seat.
  • Unofficial preliminary results include only votes cast on Election Day and early votes cast by Friday. All other votes, including about 7,000 absentee and questioned ballots, have yet to be counted.

A pair of major Matanuska-Susitna Borough funding packages appeared to win voter approval Tuesday, while incumbents appeared to keep their seats in every borough race, according to preliminary results available early Wednesday.

The bond packages provide $36.4 million for 10 major road projects across the borough and $58 million to fund the construction of three public charter school buildings. Combined, they would increase Mat-Su property taxes by up to $51 per $100,000 in assessed value, according to borough estimates.
