  "summary": "Democrat Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins is projected to win the Alaska governor’s office, according to Decision Desk HQ. The former state lawmaker defeated Republican Bernadette Wilson and two other candidates in a four-way, ranked-choice general election. Kreiss-Tomkins will succeed term-limited Republican Governor Mike Dunleavy.\n\nPOLITICO reports that the 37-year-old millennial will become the youngest governor in Alaska's history. The victory marks the first time a Democrat has been elected to the office in more than 20 years.\n\nThe race saw national groups invest millions of dollars into the all-party contest. POLITICO notes that Democrats benefited from a fractured Republican field, despite Donald Trump endorsing Bernadette Wilson.",
