Alaska’s open 2026 governor race features a crowded nonpartisan top-four primary on August 18 that will advance the highest vote-getters to a ranked-choice general election. With incumbent Mike Dunleavy term-limited, 17 candidates filed by the June 1 deadline, including 11 Republicans such as former Anchorage mayor Dave Bronson and state senator Click Bishop, plus Democrats Tom Begich and Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins and independents like former governor Bill Walker. Name recognition, fundraising, and early positioning are likely to determine which contenders clear the top-four threshold in the final weeks before the June 27 withdrawal deadline and the August primary. Limited polling shows several Republicans and Begich clustered near the top, underscoring the fragmented field and the importance of turnout among different voting blocs.
