A New York Times article reports that Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins, a 37-year-old former ultramarathoner from Sitka, defeated Republican Bernadette Wilson to become Alaska's first Democratic governor since 1998 and its youngest ever. Republican infighting and Trump-endorsed Wilson's loss in the four-person race helped him win a majority before ranked-choice counting, and he takes office Dec. 7 pledging to fix education, housing, and Alaska's finances.
