At 29 years old, he would become the region’s youngest mayor.
State Rep. Josiah Aullaqsruaq Patkotak of Utqiaġvik is the presumed winner in the race for North Slope Borough mayor.
The North Slope mayor job comes with a $265,000 annual salary, which is over twice Patkotak’s current take-home pay as a legislator. Patkotak — who has three young children — said serving as mayor will allow him to be closer to his family and home community of Utqiaġvik.
