It is imperative we elect borough assembly members dedicated to addressing the issues that are most important to young Haines residents. The “40 and Under Survey” conducted in February 2025 states the most-cited need for young residents is affordable housing, followed by better job opportunities, and child care. Borough assembly candidate Eben Sargent has already shown his commitment to creating affordable housing through his leadership role while serving on the planning commission. Both John Norton and Eben Sargent have pledged to prioritize issues important to young adults in Haines. If you care about the future of Haines, vote for the candidates who are willing to think outside the box, support our young residents, and attract newcomers.
