Fairbanks leaning Left in initial election night returns https://alaskawatchman.com/2025/10/07/fairbanks-leaning-left-in-early-election-returns/



Early results in Fairbanks do not look good for most conservative candidates.

While conservative Assembly candidate Bret Rotermund is running unopposed, and Republican-baked School Board Candidate Audra Hull is comfortably ahead in her race against LGBTQ activist Sam Spencer, all other contests are leaning toward the more leftist candidates.

This includes Assembly Seat C, where conservative J.T. McComas-Roe is trailing leftist-backed Garrett Armstrong by about 1,700 votes. Additionally, conservative incumbent Assemblywoman Barbara Haney is trailing LGBTQ activist Patrick Roach by about 1,900 votes.

In another School Board contest, conservative Melissa Burnett is slightly behind Planned Parenthood-backed Naomi Hewitt – 7,035 to 6,889.

In the separate City of Fairbanks elections, the more conservative-leaning incumbent Mayor David Pruhs is trailing leftist challenger Mindy O’Neal by nearly 270 votes with 60% counted.

In City Council races, Planned Parenthood-backed Sue Sprinkle is leading conservative candidate Hannah Ekalook by nearly 500 votes with 60% counted. In the other City Council race, Crystal Tidwell is running unopposed.
