Flynn Clarifies: Not Running for West Anchorage Assembly

0:00Reporting from the Daily News Now, I'm Corey, with the story, with the latest in Anchorage. Voters in Anchorage are dealing with some name mix-ups ahead of the West Anchorage assembly seat race. A candidate shares the last name Flynn, with Patrick Flynn, the former assembly chair. People keep asking if he's the one running. This confusion is in new. Three years ago, Flynn addressed the same issue in a public letter. Recent inquiries show it's popping up again as election time nears. Folks seem to be drawn connections based on the shared name alone. That could sway opinions unfairly since the two men have no link. Flynn notes he's reasonably sure he's never even met the candidate. In his latest statement, Flynn sets the record straight once more. He's not on the ballot, not related to the guy who is, and wants voters to just the candidate on his own record. Whatever you think of the former chair, it should in fact are in. People elections like this one deserve clear-headed choices from everyone involved.
