Alaska’s lone Democratic gubernatorial candidate fielded questions from the Greater Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce’s Jackson Nelson during a changed format at the chamber’s luncheon on Tuesday.
Vance and local Republican leaders used the rally to appeal to Interior Alaska voters. State and local leaders also attended.
Bronson has gone psycho. I could have predicted this two years ago when he was mayor. Bronson is always defensive and does not handle defeat well. It’s a psychological problem for Dave.
In Truth Social posts ahead of his speech in Wasilla, Trump was a bit more specific. In one post, he called Bronson and former Alaska Attorney General Treg Taylor, the third Republican in the race, “lesser candidates.”
President Trump endorsed Bernadette Wilson on October 13 and told Alaska Republicans to unite behind her, but Dave Bronson and Treg Taylor are staying in the four-way ranked-choice race.

Tregarrick R. "Treg" Taylor was born on May 19, 1976. After a short period at the United States Air Force Academy, he completed a Bachelor of Arts in political science at Brigham Young University in 2001, followed in 2004 by a Juris Doctor from the university's J. Reuben Clark Law School. He practiced law privately in Anchorage, where he lives with his wife, Jodi, and their six children.
Taylor ran for a seat on the Anchorage Municipal Assembly in 2016 and lost. He served as Alaska's deputy attorney general for the civil division.
Following the resignation of Ed Sniffen, who had been appointed attorney general two weeks earlier, Governor Mike Dunleavy named Taylor to the post; he took office in an acting capacity on January 30, 2021, and the Alaska Legislature confirmed him on May 11, 2021.
As attorney general he filed or joined lawsuits against the Biden administration over federal oil and gas restrictions, a COVID-19 vaccine requirement for federal contractors and revised Title IX rules, defended the state in litigation over the Willow Project, and helped win over $100 million from opioid settlements for addiction treatment and prevention programs.
He resigned on August 29, 2025.
Taylor launched his campaign for governor on September 16, 2025, in the race to succeed term-limited Republican governor Mike Dunleavy.
In the nonpartisan top-four primary on August 18, 2026, he finished fifth with 7.3 percent of the vote and moved into the general election after Democrat Tom Begich, the second-place finisher, withdrew and endorsed Kreiss-Tomkins.
On August 31, 2026, Lieutenant Governor Nancy Dahlstrom, following a recommendation from the Alaska Public Offices Commission concerning his financial disclosures, declined to certify his candidacy, which disqualified him; on September 4, 2026, she reversed that decision and certified him for the ranked-choice general election ballot of November 3, 2026.
His general election opponents include Kreiss-Tomkins and fellow Republicans Bronson and Wilson.
