Notable personal detailsTregarrick R. “Treg” Taylor is an American attorney and Republican candidate for Governor of Alaska in 2026. He served as Alaska Attorney General from January 30, 2021 to August 29, 2025, after previously serving as Deputy Attorney General in charge of the Civil Division. Taylor has worked in both private-sector legal roles and state government, and earned undergraduate and law degrees from Brigham Young University. He is married to Jodi Taylor and they have six children.
Treg Taylor has publicly committed to opposing tax increases and pledged to oppose and veto any and all tax increases. His campaign emphasizes pro-development, pro-resource policies and actions defending oil and resource projects and limiting federal regulatory actions that could raise costs for Alaskans.
Supports limiting federal public-health mandates and actions that expand access to abortion drugs; has pursued legal actions to block federal vaccine mandates and emphasizes holding pharmaceutical companies accountable for opioid harms. Policy messaging focuses on reducing federal overreach in health-related regulation while prioritizing enforcement actions rather than proposing large public-coverage expansions.
Treg Taylor has supported stronger border enforcement and legal challenges to Biden Administration immigration policies, joining multi-state lawsuits opposing expanded parole/visa programs and the DOJ asylum rule and signing a multi-state letter backing Texas’s efforts to secure the southern border. His statements emphasize preventing large-scale unlawful entry, limiting federal programs he describes as overbroad, and the fiscal and public-safety impacts of increased migration.
The candidate supports state-level restrictions and enforcement related to abortion, including backing efforts to allow states access to out-of-state abortion records and urging regulatory limits on the abortion pill mifepristone. He has signed letters with other Republican attorneys general opposing federal protections that would shield out-of-state reproductive health records and calling for reinstating safety protocols or removing mifepristone from the market.
Opposes federal regulatory actions that impose stricter emissions or environmental-cost analyses on energy projects and supports development and state control of Alaska’s fossil fuel and natural resource projects while emphasizing energy independence. Has joined multi-state legal actions challenging EPA rules (including effluent limits and an electric-vehicle sales mandate) and opposed use of the “social cost of carbon” in FERC decisions. Positions emphasize limiting federal regulatory authority and protecting jobs and costs for Alaskan energy producers and consumers.
Treg Taylor is in the news as one of many candidates running in Alaska’s 2026 governor’s race, where campaigns are being fueled heavily by candidates’ own money. Reporting says overall fundraising is high and that Taylor is among those making significant personal and outside contributions, helped by a court decision that removed campaign contribution limits. He is also mentioned in broader coverage tracking major 2026 election contests, including key races in Alaska.
