Summary
Alaska’s gubernatorial race is heating up with Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins leading in fundraising—$1.8 million since February, much of it from out-of-state donors including AI company employees. His rival, Democrat Tom Begich, has raised $1.1 million, mostly from Alaskans. Republicans trail, with Matt Heilala leading at $1.6 million, largely self-funded. Both Democrats support restoring campaign donation limits, which voters will decide in August. Kreiss-Tomkins says his outside donors care about AI policy—or just want a winner; Begich sees his local backers as invested in Alaskan issues. As the primary nears, Kreiss-Tomkins and Heilala have spent the most, leaving them with thinner war chests as the race tightens.
