Having been born and raised in the 49th State, Kameron views Alaska as his home state. He is an avid runner and outdoor enthusiast and enjoys exploring Alaska with his wife and two young daughters. With an extensive history in the local non-profit world, helping to build stronger and healthier communities is an intrinsic part of who Kameron Perez-Verdia is. In 2013, Kameron was appointed to the Anchorage School Board, serving one year and then the remainder of another member's term. He was then elect​ed to a three-year term.​ Currently he serves as the President and CEO of a local non-profit organization founded in 1972 that brings Alaskans​​ together to think critically to ultimately build and strengthen communities.​

Austin was raised by working class parents in a rural logging town in northern California. After earning her law degree from UC Davis and traveling and living around the world, she made Alaska home in 2011. 
Since being elected to the Assembly in 2018, Austin has focused on improving quality of life for her constituents by investing in public health and safety, bolstering our economy and supporting working families, and being responsive and action-oriented to those she serves. After the 2018 earthquake, she worked with our federal delegation to change FEMA regulations to secure disaster relief for Anchorage residents. She has also collaborated with Native leaders and our police department to ensure APD's processes and data collection are transparent and enable identification of Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women (MMIW), brought forward life-saving Tobacco 21 legislation increasing the legal smoking age from 19 to 21, and supported the Municipality's investment in and building of a mental health first response system. In October 2020, Austin was selected by her colleagues to serve as Anchorage's Acting Mayor, a role she filled through June 2021. During her term as mayor, Austin focused on managing the COVID-19 pandemic and getting as many resources as possible to the residents who needed them the most. Austin lives in West Anchorage with her wife Stephanie and their two dogs. 

Felix came to Alaska for college and never left. His work as Constituent Relations and Special Assistant for the Mayor's Office helped to prepare him for his role as Assembly Member and Chair. His passion is making a difference in the lives of people in his community; and he has been able to do this by not only serving on the Assembly, but by sitting on the board of directors for several nonprofits that help those in need. Writing and journalism is another way Felix has been able to make an impact. While studying journalism at APU he covered local events around town as well as wrote for an international wire service. His stories were published around the world. Felix considers his proudest accomplishment to be “helping fight and eventually obtain protections for LGBTQ Anchorage residents in employment, housing, and public accommodations."

Pete was born and raised by his parents in eastern Iowa.  After serving as a Peace Corps agricultural volunteer in the Dominican Republic, Pete made the trek up the Alcan with the intention of a summer visit to Alaska. Close to 40 years later, he's still here! Originally, gold mining brought Pete to Alaska but he saw opportunity in other areas. He was a restaurateur for many years until he sold his business and decided to get serious about serving his community in a different capacity. Pete was elected to the Alaska State of House of Representatives for two terms. Yet it was his involvement in the Nunaka City Little League and the Northeast Community Council Board of Directors that most encouraged Pete to run for Assembly. Pete shares, “I'm still inspired to continue the family tradition of public service that my grandfather started back in the early 1950s."
