Place narrative
Galena sits roughly 270 miles west of Fairbanks on the Yukon River, and its small, majority-Alaska Native electorate consistently weighs candidates through the lens of subsistence rights and rural infrastructure access.

These Census-place returns are modeled candidate-vote estimates on Census boundaries unless a row explicitly says certified. They are not automatically the official city or town return.
† 2020 sub-county results are estimated: the source reported that cycle at county or municipality level (COVID-era consolidated reporting), so block-level detail is interpolated from adjacent cycles and scaled to certified totals.
