Former Fairbanks Borough assemblyman, Lance Roberts, announced June 4 at the GOP luncheon at the Westmark, Fairbanks that he intends to run for the Borough Assembly once again in the 2021 contest.

Roberts served on the Assembly from 2012 to 2018.

This was a long awaited and heavily applauded decision by conservatives around the borough as he is in favor of low taxes and limited government involvement.

Well known as a principled social and fiscal conservative, Lance was born and raised here in Fairbanks. He is a UAF graduate with three degrees, and he works as a professional engineer with Golden Valley Electric Association. He is currently a member of the State Local Boundary Commission and author and publisher of the Fairbanks Conservatives newsletter and Facebook page.

“I decided to run again as I saw the amount of economic damage that was done to our community due to the government reaction to the COVID virus,” Roberts told the Watchman. “The Borough, even in these times of COVID, has continually increased spending every year and the tax burden needs to be reduced. It is also pretty costly for people to develop their land and use their property for their benefit. I’ve monitored the Assembly for the last three years after finishing my two terms on that body, and see that there are things that need to be done to lessen government’s role in people’s lives.”

      There is no local election with Communist Dominion voting machines tabulating votes out of Communist China supported by our corrupt Politicians that will not even say the word Dominion……. We are governed by pathetic treasonous cowards and we the people must stand and take back the stewardship they have betrayed. it is so game time and Liberty is on the line. If your rep will not speak about the theft of your sacred vote calling out Dominion then they are purchased by China.

    People have to support conservative candidates no matter where they live in Alaska. We have to retake the state from the bottom up–school boards, city councils, borough assemblies and then the state offices and federal offices.
