Unalaska, AK – Juanita Lewis is resigning from her seat on the Unalaska City Council effective at the end of June. She said she's leaving Unalaska to take a job in Nome in July.

Lewis is the fifth council member to step down in the past year before the end of her term. Greg Hanson, Bill Bradshaw, Alyssa McDonald and Joanna Aldridge all resigned their seats in the past year, for a variety of reasons. Lewis has served the shortest term of any of them, however; she was elected just six months ago.

Per procedure, the city council will appoint a replacement to serve the rest of her term.
