Kathryn Dodge, Democrat for Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska
Hi! My name is Kathryn Dodge, and I'm running for City Mayor. I came to Fairbanks in 1973, a young woman looking for a new community. I fell in love with the people that make up this golden heart community and found opportunity to learn a trade and support myself. This allowed me to work in technology along the pipeline and on the north slope. Since then I’ve earned graduate degrees in organization management and spent 15 years working in economic development in our community. This taught me how our economy, the private sector, and local government works. I’ve also served six years on the Borough Assembly where I earned a reputation for listening, negotiating, and finding solutions.
I’m running for City Mayor because I believe our community is stalled out and that we need new energy and leadership to get us moving forward. I will pull together the many groups that make up our community and develop a 20 year business plan for Fairbanks that reflects what we want to be and how we are going to get there. I hope you’ll join us!
Of course, we also have to make sure that we have a balanced budget, our fire and police are fully staffed and as diverse as our community. I look forward to working with the community, city council and city staff to move Fairbanks towards our vision of a vibrant, quirky community with a great quality of life.
