In the Anchorage school board race for C.C., C.C. candidate Rachel Blakesley is hitting opponent Alexander Rosala's hard with campaign mailers calling him, too extreme. She spotlighting his old social media posts, like one from August 31, 2024, that mentions Hitler pulling Germany from, economic hardship. Rosala's fires back, saying those posts are ripped out of context and he's no Nazi sympathizer. He explains the Hitler comment, was just a quick historical note, followed by talk of the Holocaust, and his critics are dodging a real debate on, school issues. Meanwhile, Rosala stands by another post labeling the Anchorage school district garbage and suggesting it gets shut down. His point, shake things up so parents actually get involved, since they only show up when schools close anyway. Both bring solid backgrounds to the table. Rosala's as a veteran, dad, and former substitute teacher, pushing for accountability over endless funding. Blakesley, a non-profit leader and district parent, wants to build up schools without falling
for that fake split between support and reform. This showdown replaces term-limited board member Dave Donnelly, with voters deciding April 7th who brings the right balance to fix Anchorage, schools. Anchorage news today, powered by AI bringing you what matters. I'm Corey with the story.
