The Ketchikan City Council appointed former member Abby Bradberry last week to fill a vacancy left by the resignation of Mark Flora. Longtime member Flora stepped down from the council on Feb. 20, saying he needed to focus on personal priorities. During a special meeting March 17, the council interviewed four candidates interested in filling the seat. In addition to Bradberry, the council heard from Dion Booth and David Dentinger, who both ran last fall, and Bronson Olson, who ran in 2021.
