Bernie Sanders has picked up another superdelegate in the wake of his landslide victory over Hillary Clinton in the Alaska Democratic caucuses Saturday.

Alaska Democratic Party vice chairman Larry Murakami, who had previously donated to Sanders but formally had been uncommitted, decided to back Sanders after the Vermont senator defeated Clinton 82 percent to 18 percent in the state on Saturday.

"Yes," Murakami told POLITICO, when asked Monday if he was throwing his support toward Sanders as a superdelegate. "I only became the vice chair of the Alaska Democratic Party in January. So I decided to be uncommitted and to encourage the dialog and get people talking."

That changed after Alaska went big for Sanders.

"I'm going with Alaska," Murakami said. "I don't know that any other of the Alaska delegates have committed to one candidate or another, but I think it's totally appropriate if we're over 80 percent for one of us to step forward and say, "yeah, I'm voting for Sanders like everyone in my district, like most of the people in my district and most of the people in Alaska."

Sanders also picked up two uncommitted super delegates after winning a spate of contests on Tuesday. In Idaho, Democratic Party chairman Bert Marley, previously an uncommitted super delegate, said he would support the Vermont senator.

"I did it basically the night after our caucuses," Marley told POLITICO Monday of when he decided to back Sanders. "Two reasons: I was kind of leaning that direction anyhow personally but I made a commitment earlier on that I felt like super delegates should reflect for lack of a better term the will of the people so when the results were so overwhelming in Idaho it was the natural thing to do."

Meanwhile, Utah Democratic Party chairman Peter Corroon, another superdelegate who said he would support whoever won his state's caucuses, is backing Sanders. Sanders won Utah 79.3 percent to Clinton with 20.3 percent.

Minnesota Congressman Collin Peterson also signaled this weekend that he would support Sanders as a superdelegate at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia this summer.

"I'm voting my district," Peterson said in an interview with ABC News Minnesota affiliate WDAY 6. "I'm going to vote for Bernie."

Peterson represents Minnesota's 7th Congressional District, which went for Sanders. Sanders won the state's caucuses 62 percent to 38 percent for Clinton.

The additional superdelegates come as welcome news for Sanders who, despite winning caucuses in Alaska as well as Hawaii and Washington on Saturday, still trails Clinton by a wide margin in pledged delegates and superdelegates. The most recent tallies have Clinton with 1,712 delegates while Sanders has 1,004, a figure which includes 469 superdelegates for Clinton and just 30 Sanders.
