Alaska voters handed Democrat Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins a decisive victory, flipping the governor's mansion after 28 years of Republican control.
The race was called for Kreiss-Tomkins Friday evening, making him Alaska's first Democratic governor since 1998.
He defeated Trump-endorsed Republican Bernadette Wilson in a contest that highlighted a crowded GOP field and Alaska's ranked-choice voting system.
The result reverses a long Republican hold on the office and signals a shift in a state that leans GOP in presidential elections.
The election took place on November 13, 2026, under Alaska's ranked-choice system.
Kreiss-Tomkins will take office with a mandate to tackle the state's economy, energy policy, and infrastructure challenges.
