Political career

Sarah Vance began her political career as Co-Chair and spokesperson for Heartbeat of Homer, a local recall campaign against three members of the Homer City Council in Homer, Alaska.[1] The group campaigned to recall 3 members of the Homer City Council over transparency complaints. The group accused the city council members Donna Aderhold, David Lewis, and Catriona Reynolds of lying to the public about the intention behind an "inclusivity resolution", which the group alleges was an attempt to declare Homer a sanctuary city.[2] All three council members retained their seats by wide margins.[3]

Vance ran for the Homer City Council in 2017, finishing third.[4]

Vance defeated incumbent Representative Paul Seaton in the 2018 general election.[5]

Vance announced she was running for re-election on November 3, 2020. Running against Vance as an undeclared candidate was Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly President Kelly Cooper.[6]

Vance won the reelection.[7]
