Incumbent Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy is holding on to his sizeable lead in Alaska’s governor race. Dunleavy’s share dropped one point, from 52.1% to 51%, after the Division of Elections added an additional 27,000 ballots to the tally Tuesday.
. Analysts and even one of his opponents, Democrat Les Gara, have said they think it’s likely Dunleavy has won the race.
Dunleavy gained significant support in the November general election, compared to the August primary, where he captured just 40% of the vote. Last week, political consultant Jim Lottsfeldt said that Dunleavy, along with Republican U.S. Senate candidate Kelly Tshibaka appeared to be overperforming compared to their primary outcomes.
