For Sitka Assembly

SHERRI BLANKENSHIP

I believe in a Sitka where people can build a life and stay for generations to come.

Keeping Sitka a place people can call home.

Looking Ahead for Sitka

I love this community, and I want more people to have the opportunity to build their lives here.

That means taking an honest look at the challenges affecting everyday life in Sitka and focusing on solutions that make it easier for people to stay, work, raise families, and participate in our community.

I'm running for Assembly to bring a practical, independent voice to those conversations. I am dedicated to be one that listens, asks questions, and keeps the long-term health of Sitka at the center of every decision.
