The City & Borough of Juneau Assembly has appointed Loren Jones to fill the Areawide Assembly seat vacated by Carole Triem from July 10 through the October 3 municipal election.
Jones represented District 1 for three full terms, from October 2012 through October 2021. He was elected Deputy Mayor by the Assembly in October 2020. In addition to ten years as director of the State of Alaska Division of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, Jones has served on the Alaska Marijuana Control Board, United Way of Southeast Alaska Board, Juneau World Affairs Council, and a number of other local nonprofits.
The open Areawide seat will be permanently filled in the October 3 election. Two Areawide Assembly Members will be elected, with the candidate receiving the most votes filling outgoing member Maria Gladziszewski’s seat for one full term and the candidate receiving the second-most number of votes filling Triem’s seat for the remaining two years of her term.
The Assembly also made temporary appointments for Triem’s former committee assignments. Assembly Member Christine Woll will serve as Finance Committee Chair and Assembly Member Michelle Hale will serve as Bartlett Regional Hospital liaison until new appointments are made.
