Alaska Senate candidate McAdams returns to quieter life in Sitka

[ccharles000]

SIKTA, Alaska - Scott McAdams was back at work last week as head of the local Community Schools program.

After more than two months of unpaid leave, during which the former Sitka mayor was a central figure in one of the most ballyhooed political races in state history, McAdams was back in his small, windowless office at Blatchley Middle School.

On Thursday afternoon, McAdams was catching up on his work and preparing to implement a new after-school program grant.His top goal? To establish a top- notch youth basketball program.

McAdams, a Democrat who finished third behind Republicans Joe Miller and Lisa Murkowski, said he woke up election day believing he had a legitimate chance to score what would have been a major political upset. But it was Murkowski who made history, becoming the first Senate candidate to mount a successful write-in campaign since 1954.
