Incoming Kenai Peninsula Borough Mayor Peter Micciche joined us in the studio today to talk about the borough-wide issues he plans to address in his new job. Micciche begins his new role as mayor next week.

Micciche, a former Soldotna mayor and Alaska State Senate President, won more than half of all votes, with 51.6% of the total — meaning no March runoff election is necessary.

Peter Micciche is leading in the special election for Kenai Peninsula Borough mayor, with just over 50% of the vote. But with more votes still to be tallied, it’s too soon to say whether it will be enough for the borough to avoid a runoff election next month.

Voters have until 8 tonight to cast their ballots in today's special election for Kenai Peninsula Borough Mayor.

After more than a decade of flat pay, the Kenai Peninsula Borough Mayor is getting a raise. However, it will be up to the assembly to review the mayor’s salary at the end of every term and decide whether to make adjustments for inflation.

Beginning this week at in-person absentee voting sites, voters will choose between four candidates for the borough’s top seat.

Four candidates are running for the open Kenai Peninsula Borough mayor seat in the Feb. 14 special election. The winner will serve through the next municipal election, in October.

The Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly appointed Navarre to the role Tuesday night— less than two weeks after current Borough Mayor Charlie Pierce announced he was resigning at the end of September to focus on his campaign for governor.
