## Resource

Alaska’s governor race just got a fresh face: Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins, a former state rep, has picked Zac Johnson, an independent Marine veteran and Assembly member, as his running mate. Johnson, who represents South Anchorage and Girdwood, praised Kreiss-Tomkins for his bipartisan grit, while Kreiss-Tomkins called Johnson a pragmatic problem-solver. Together, they’re pitching common sense and cooperation in a crowded field of 18 candidates, including Lieutenant Governor Nancy Dahlstrom.
