Summary
Alaska Democrat Tom Begich just picked his running mate—Julia Hnilicka, a former Biden admin official—just five days before the deadline, sending shockwaves in a crowded gubernatorial race. Hnilicka, 40, brings deep rural Alaska experience and a focus on affordability and Native traditions, despite never holding office before. Begich’s move makes him the first Democratic candidate to lock in a VP pick, as the August 18 primary looms and Republicans dominate the field.
