Democrat Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins has won the race for Alaska governor, replacing a Republican in a state that usually votes Republican. The former state legislator ran a campaign that emphasized bipartisanship, building a coalition across party lines.

At 37, Kreiss-Tomkins will be the youngest governor in Alaska's history. His win is the first by a Democrat in the governor's race since 1998, a result that breaks a long run of Republican control of the office.S1S2

Kreiss-Tomkins made his name as a coalition builder who was willing to raise alarms about the state's dire fiscal straits, a theme that ran through his campaign as he sought support beyond his own party.S2
