Democrat Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins won election Saturday as governor of Alaska, defeating Republicans Dave Bronson, Treg Taylor and Bernadette M. Wilson. The win by Kreiss-Tomkins, a former lawmaker, marks the first time a Democrat has been elected governor of Alaska since 1998. He will succeed term-limited Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy. Kreiss-Tomkins called for a moratorium on new data center construction in the state until the legislature passes comprehensive regulations on their development. The Associated Press declared Kreiss-Tomkins the winner at 12:01 a.m. EST.
