Begich Drops Out, Kreiss-Tompkins Gains Momentum | Anchorage News

Democrat Tom Begich has suspended his gubernatorial campaign, citing a lack of a clear path forward — but also recognizing Jonathan Kreiss-Tompkins’ stronger position to win. Begich, who ran on shared priorities like education and cost of living, believes Kreiss-Tompkins is the better choice to counter Republicans. Kreiss-Tompkins praised Begich’s selfless move as crucial for Alaska’s future. Meanwhile, Republican Treg Taylor, now fourth after Begich’s exit, is pushing GOP rivals to unite — though his own candidacy faces potential disqualification, leaving the party’s unity uncertain ahead of the August 31 deadline.
