Early political career of Sarah Palin
Sarah Palin was a member of the Wasilla, Alaska city council from 1992 to 1996 and the city's mayor from 1996 to 2002. Wasilla is located 29 miles (47 km) north-east of the port of Anchorage, and is the largest population center in the Mat-Su Valley. At the conclusion of Palin's tenure as mayor in 2002, the city had about 6,300 residents, and is now the fifth largest city in the state.〔 The four larger cities in Alaska are Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, and Sitka.〕 Term limits prevented Palin from running for a third term as mayor.〔
==City council of Wasilla==
Palin was elected twice to the city council of Wasilla, in 1992 and 1995. Wasilla's city councillors serve three-year terms.〔(Wasilla Municipal Code ) section 2.04.030〕 Palin says she entered politics because she was concerned that revenue from a new Wasilla sales tax would not be spent wisely.
Palin's first foray into politics was in 1992, when the then 28-year-old ran for Wasilla city council against John Hartrick, a local telephone company worker.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cityofwasilla.com/Modules/ShowDocument.aspx?documentid=451 )〕 She won 530 votes against Hartrick's 310. On the council, she successfully opposed a measure to curtail the hours at Wasilla's bars by two hours. This surprised Hartrick because she was then a member of a church that advocated abstinence from alcohol.〔 After serving on the city council for three years, she ran for reelection against R’nita Rogers in 1995, winning 413 votes to Rogers' 185.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cityofwasilla.com/Modules/ShowDocument.aspx?documentid=452 )〕 Palin did not complete her second term on the city council because she ran for mayor in 1996.
