On this week's episode with host Katherine Irving, Senate and Congressional candidates will participate in the 2026 Alaska Fisheries Debate in Kodiak this weekend, Borough Assembly candidates discussed their positions at a candidate forum, the Sun'aq Tribe's leader was ousted last week, black bears invaded Juneau's dump this summer, scientists research chum salmon bycatch in Dutch Harbor, and a California-based company generated rainfall over the Kenai Peninsula.
The leader of the Sun’aq Tribe of Kodiak was ousted by the Tribal Council last week on Sept. 4. According to a statement on social media, the council ended Jeannine “JJ” Marsh’s employment as Tribal Administrator and Chief Executive Officer, effective on Friday.
All six candidates pushed for the sale of Borough land and the development of non-fisheries industries in Kodiak’s economy, like the spaceport and tourism.
Candidates shared opening statements, answers to questions that were crafted by KMXT's news team with help from KVOK and the Kodiak Chamber of Commerce, as well as their closing statements. Both the audio and transcript are included in this post. And the link to the Kodiak Island Borough's YouTube video is posted here as well.
