The Associated Press has called Alaska's governor's race for Democrat Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins, who will replace term-limited Republican Mike Dunleavy on December 7, 2026, becoming the state's first Democratic governor since Tony Knowles left office in 2002. Eric Stone reports the 37-year-old, who beat three Republicans in Alaska's ranked-choice system, will be Alaska's youngest governor and plans an administration of Democrats, Republicans, and independents.
