2024 Chugach Utility Election Endorsements

Chugach Electric Board of Directors Elections

The Alaska Center's Endorsed Candidates

At The Alaska Center, we work to elect Alaskans who stand up for our clean air and water, healthy communities, and a strong democracy. We are happy to endorse candidates Sam Cason and Mark Wiggin for the two open board of directors seats at Chugach Electric Association.

These candidates are proven community leaders who support the development and harnessing of renewable energy here at home - reducing our carbon output and investing in our community. We believe that re-electing Directors Cason and Wiggin will keep us on the right path for a fiscally and environmentally sustainable future in Alaska.

“I am a self-employed attorney, born and raised in Homer and ultimately settling down in Anchorage with my wife to raise our three sons. I have over 20 years of experience in Chugach governance, and a long history of community involvement and leadership. As supplies of inexpensive locally produced Natural Gas run low we must re-imagine our local energy infrastructure. I view this as a generational opportunity to move towards a sustainable and prosperous future for our system, our economy, and our kids.”

“I have more than forty years of public/private-sector experience in resource management, state / federal regulatory policy, engineering, economic analysis, and project management. My industry technical and commercial experience is complemented by public policy and political experience during my tenure as Deputy Commissioner of the Alaska Dept. of Natural Resources. This extensive work history, along with years of service in the electrical utility sector including service on the MLP Advisory Commission, the MLP Board of Directors, and the Chugach Electric Board of Directors, provides an ideal foundation for me to be a successful and highly effective Chugach Board Member–as I have been over the past 3 and a half year term.”
