Alaska Governor 2026: where the candidates stand on data centers
4 candidates on the November 3, 2026 ballot, from the Alaska Division of Elections' list (opens in a new tab). The officeholder comes first, then the Republican and Democratic nominees together by last name, then everyone else by last name; in each group a candidate with a statement or vote on the record comes first (how the order works). Each has the same space. The list: Alaska Division of Elections, Election Candidates, 2026 General Election (Election Date November 3, 2026) (Page last updated September 25, 2026 at 8:16 am).
Bernadette Wilson criticized Kreiss Tomkins' campaign for accepting large contributions from AI company employees and said her administration will make independent decisions in the best interest of Alaska and will never allow Alaska to be littered with hyperscale data centers
These candidates are not printed on the November 3 ballot. A voter writes in the name, and the votes count because an official election list certifies the candidacy: the state's own, or a county election board's where the state publishes none. Each line names the list that certifies it; what each has said about data centers stays on their own page.
Labels are applied by the record's published rules: two readings of each statement, and a third that reads its source where the two differ. Every label sits beside its statement and its source, and any label can be challenged through Report a change, with the correction logged on the corrections page.
