If you're not a fan of the last eight years under Governor (Mike) Dunleavy, I want to make a really strong case that I am the candidate you should consider supporting for governor. They fire a bunch of teachers because they don't know how much money they're…

Alaska governor's race: Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins vs Bernadette Wilson vs Dave Bronson vs Treg Taylor
How the candidates in the Alaska governor race are arguing their case, read the same way for each of them. Updated every 15 minutes until election day, 3 November 2026.
Hostility this week 1.3 / 10, 0.9 above their usual 0.4.
Audience impact, 30 days: +1.3 leans reassuring
Alaskans are hungry for change. We’ve been running the same campaign since we launched in February, and I don’t take anyone’s vote for granted.
The next governor is, for worse or better, walking into a relatively privileged position where there's a meaningful projected surplus because of the cost of oil. I think a broad-based tax and revenues of that nature are likely going to be necessary to balance…
Making training available to providers creates jobs for people who already live and work in rural communities and lets parents go to work, go hunting, or back to school. Besides direct investment in programs like Child Care Assistance at the state level, I…
Hostility this week 0.7 / 10, 0.4 below their usual 1.1.
Audience impact, 30 days: −0.2 neutral
There were so many Alaskans feeling like they were confused in this governor’s race. ‘My gosh, what do we do?’ They were feeling defeated by it. Yesterday gave this shot in the arm, and they realized, all right, now I see where to go.
state of the budget address. Here's the deal: follow the formula. If the money isn't there, then follow the formula. You were never guaranteed a $3,800 Permanent Fund dividend. So pay out $25, pay out $50. The reality is, the money is there. They want to use…
You've had bipartisan coalitions in the House and in the Senate. How has that worked for you, Alaska? Are you any better off today than you were 10, 20 or 30 years ago?.
Starting in December, Juneau is going to get a new registered voter, and it’s going to be a Republican, not a Democrat.
Not enough statements this week for a hostility reading.
Audience impact, 30 days: −0.3 neutral
I would work with local communities, tribes, employers, school districts, and existing providers to expand the options that fit each community. So whether that’s a licensed center, a home-based provider, a cooperative, or an employer-supported program. Rural…
We just failed as a party. The party has been completely absent. Leadership has been absent in the governor's race. It's like there's this self-imposed cone of silence. I'm like everyone else — I'm waiting for someone else to do it. But there's people…
There's three folks up here on this podium that have experience. There is one that brags that she does not. There's three three folks up here who have their personal house in order, that pay their personal bills. There is one that does not.
We haven't been going down there and singing Kumbaya. That's the point. The governor and the Legislature have not been getting along down there. And Jonathan and I, opposite sides of the political spectrum, agree you still need to go down there and work with…
Hostility this week 0.6 / 10, in line with their usual.
Audience impact, 30 days: +1.4 leans reassuring
I honestly think that the easiest way to a conservative win is if we all are in the race and we rank. I really wanted the focus to be on Dan Sullivan's race and Nick Begich's race. I wanted all Republicans to unite behind those two, get out the vote, and get…
It’s such an honor to have President Trump here in Alaska, supporting Dan Sullivan. It’s so important that we re-elect our senator. It’s an honor to have Trump here because he’s been the best president that Alaska has ever had. He’s the first president to…
Any state support would come from the existing budget, not new taxes, and be tied to one result: more open slots for Alaska families.
with safety as the line I won’t cross. The bigger threat to providers today is rules that make it impossible to staff a room or make the business pencil out. More flexibility helps them stay open.
