One candidate has suspended his campaign, another is battling the borough in federal court over public access and the third is a retired school principal looking to dip his toe into local politics.

Incumbent candidate Patti Truesdell is running for the seat, alongside Donna Anderson and Shelby Oden.

Henry Knackstedt and Alex Douthit are running for mayor of the City of Kenai. Victoria Askin, Bridgit Grieme and Glenese Pettey are running for seats on the Kenai City Council.
