There are two City Council seats on the municipal ballot this year. Darin Nicholson and write-in candidate Brenda Baker are vying for Seat E. Nicholson provided the following candidate bio.
I am running for seat E Unalaska City Council.
After honorably serving in the United States Army, I began my career in the Alaska fishing industry in 1987 as a fish processor with Arctic Alaska Fisheries in Dutch Harbor. Through decades of dedication and hard work, I advanced to become the Dutch Harbor Operations Manager for Trident Seafoods. Now I am currently working with Sundance Stevedore supporting Fishermen’s Finest Vessels. Over my 39 years in the fishing industry, I have gained extensive experience in leadership and operations, which I believe continues to serve me well as your City Council representative.
I have proudly called Unalaska home for more than 15 years, and plan to remain here through retirement.
I am committed to using my work ethic, vision, and energy to support Unalaska’s future growth as both a world-class port and a premier tourist destination.
