阿拉斯加州选民自1998年以来首次选出民主党人担任州长，这是全国中期选举浪潮的一部分，该浪潮使民主党在全国各州政府中取得了压倒性胜利。
前州议员乔纳森·克赖斯-汤姆金斯击败了三名共和党候选人，其中一人得到特朗普总统的支持。他的胜选意味着民主党将在30个州掌控州长职位，其中包括爱荷华州、佐治亚州、俄亥俄州和得克萨斯州等此前被共和党控制多年后民主党新夺回的几个州。
常被称为JKT的克赖斯-汤姆金斯在离开州众议院三年后完成了政治复出。他走遍阿拉斯加州建立自己的联盟，重点关注民生负担能力，主张为公立学校提供全额资金，并呼吁所有石油和天然气生产商缴纳企业所得税。他还呼吁暂停批准新建数据中心，直到州议员通过相关开发法规。
他表示，在即将卸任的共和党州长迈克·邓利维八年的执政下，阿拉斯加州已经“陷入困境”，需要改变。他指出的问题包括州渡轮系统一团糟，许多社区的航线被大幅削减。渡轮是阿拉斯加州东南部未通公路社区的主要交通方式，部分社区的航空服务也十分有限。

37岁的克赖斯-汤姆金斯强调愿意跨党派合作，并表示希望组建一个由共和党人、民主党人和无党派人士组成的内阁。
“只要你有能力、有服务精神、有创业精神、善于解决问题，就能加入团队。开始行动吧，”他在上个月的候选人论坛上表示，“让我们行动起来，让阿拉斯加重回正轨。”
曾多次与本党及特朗普产生分歧的共和党参议员莉萨·穆尔科夫斯基在选举前一周为克赖斯-汤姆金斯背书。她表示，克赖斯-汤姆金斯“明白执政需要倾听不同观点的人，并找到共同点解决我们所有人面临的问题”。
包括民主党人托尼·诺尔斯、无党派人士比尔·沃克以及该参议员父亲、共和党人弗兰克·穆尔科夫斯基在内的三位前州长也为他背书。
克赖斯-汤姆金斯在周五早些时候宣布胜选的声明中表示，选民希望看到改变，“以及一个跨党派合作推动阿拉斯加前进的政府。我们的政府不会浪费任何一天时间，立刻着手解决阿拉斯加的问题。”他还提到自己的竞选活动拥有超过1万名捐赠者。
Alaska elects Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins, the first Democrat governor since 1998

Alaska voters have elected a Democrat for governor for the first time since 1998, part of a national midterm elections wave that gave the party sweeping wins in state governments across the country.
Former state lawmaker Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins defeated three Republicans, including one endorsed by President Trump. His victory means Democrats will control the governor’s office in 30 states, including several they flipped after years of Republican control in places such as Iowa, Georgia, Ohio and Texas.
Kreiss-Tomkins, often referred to as JKT, completed a political comeback three years after leaving the state House. He traveled throughout Alaska to build his coalition and focused on affordability, advocated for full funding of public schools and called for all oil and gas producers to pay corporate income tax. He also sought a moratorium on new data centers until state lawmakers pass regulations for their development.
He said Alaska had become “broken” under eight years of outgoing Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy and needed a change. He cited among other issues a state ferry system that he said has been left in shambles, with routes to many communities cut drastically. The ferry is a key mode of transportation for southeast Alaska communities not connected by roads, some of which also have limited air service.

Kreiss-Tomkins, 37, emphasized a willingness to work across party lines and said he wanted a Cabinet with Republicans, Democrats and independents.
“If they’re competent, if they’re service-minded, if they’re entrepreneurial, if they’re problem-solvers, you’re on the team. Game on,” he said during a candidate forum last month. “Let’s go, and let’s get Alaska back on track.”
Republican U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who has at times been at odds with her party, including Mr. Trump, endorsed Kreiss-Tomkins a week before the election. She said Kreiss-Tomkins “understands that governing requires listening to people with different perspectives and finding common ground to solve the problems all of us face.”
Three former governors including Democrat Tony Knowles, independent Bill Walker and Republican Frank Murkowski, the senator’s father, also endorsed him.
In a statement declaring victory earlier Friday, Kreiss-Tomkins said voters wanted change and “a government that works across party lines to move Alaska forward. Our administration will not waste a single day getting to work to solve problems for Alaska.” He said his campaign had more than 10,000 donors.
