Kenai Peninsula Borough voters will elect a new mayor this month in a special election. The winner will serve through the next municipal election in October.
Candidates Peter Micciche, Linda Farnsworth-Hutchings, Zach Hamilton and Dave Carey joined the Homer Chamber of Commerce for a live candidate forum at the Kachemak Bay Campus on Wednesday to talk about their visions for the borough and their qualifications for the seat.
Election day is Feb. 14 and a special runoff election, if needed, will be March 7. Absentee voting began Jan. 30.
