Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a Republican from Alaska, endorsed Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins in Alaska, giving him cross-party support in the race.
In an emailed statement, Murkowski urged voters to put party considerations aside and back Kreiss-Tomkins, known as JKT, and his running mate, Anchorage Assemblyman Zac Johnson, who is described as an independent. The Washington Examiner reported that Kreiss-Tomkins is the only Democrat on Alaska’s ranked-choice ballot.
