Janice Park: Practical Grit for Midtown Assembly

0:00This is Corey, here with your quick two-minute update from Anchorage News today. Janice Park is running for Anchorage Assembly District 4CG, representing Midtown. She's lived there nearly 30 years and brings experience from nursing, running a small business and working as a paralegal. Park says her focus is on real problem solving over politics. She's pushing to tackle the housing shortage by cutting red tape on new builds. Her plan calls for turning underused commercial spaces into affordable workforce housing. That could boost the local economy while keeping neighborhoods intact. The Anchorage Education Association recently endorsed her campaign. Park highlights the loss of teachers and supports staff to other states due to low pay and weak retirement benefits. She promises to prioritize funding for schools to keep talent in Alaska. With 18 years running a water treatment business and decades advocating for families, Park aims to bring practical grit to the assembly. She wants Midtown to be a place where young people stay and build futures.
