DGA Statement on Governor-Elect Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins' Victory in Alaska

DGA Chair Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear released the following statement on Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins being elected the next governor of the state of Alaska:

"Congratulations to Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins on being elected the next governor of Alaska. Building on his history of winning tough races, JKT is the first Democrat to win the Alaska governor's race in 28 years because he built a broad, cross-partisan coalition of voters who know he'll put politics aside and focus on actually solving problems. As governor, JKT will bring Alaskans together to lower the cost of living, support public schools, and protect Alaska's fisheries. The DGA is proud to have contributed to Governor-elect Kreiss-Tomkins' win, and we're excited to work with him as he leads Alaska in a new direction."

The DGA-backed group Forward Frontier for JKT spent over $5 million in Alaska on ads (examples here and here). The DGA quickly invested immediately after the primary and drastically outspent the RGA in Alaska.
