Turnaround in Alaska. The first such situation in 28 years

Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins defeated three Republican candidates: Dave Bronson, Treg Taylor and Bernadette Wilson. His victory marks the end of eight years under Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy.

The new governor's program

During the election campaign, the Democratic candidate advocated, among others: for full financing of public schools from state funds, as well as for imposing corporate income tax on oil and fuel producers. Alaska's economy is based primarily on the oil and fuel industry.

The politician also demanded a moratorium on the construction of new data centers in the state until local deputies develop regulations regulating this issue.

Kreiss-Tomkins also declared that he wants to create a state administration with the participation of Democrats, Republicans and independent politicians.

30th state in Democratic hands

As a result of the November 3 elections, Democratic Party politicians will hold the office of governor in 30 of the 50 US states, including Iowa, Ohio and Texas, where the majority of voters have voted for Republicans for years. This year, governors were elected in 36 states.

Kreiss-Tomkins will be sworn in on December 7.
