In the United States, a governor serves as the chief executive and commander-in-chief in each of the fifty states and in the five permanently inhabited territories, functioning as head of state and head of government therein. As such, governors are responsible for implementing state laws and overseeing the operation of the state executive branch. As state leaders, governors advance and pursue new and revised policies and programs using a variety of tools, among them executive orders, executive budgets, and legislative proposals and vetoes. Governors carry out their management and leadership responsibilities and objectives with the support and assistance of department and agency heads, many of whom they are empowered to appoint. A majority of governors have the authority to appoint state court judges as well, in most cases from a list of names submitted by a nominations committee.

California is a Democratic stronghold and considered to be one of the "Big Three" Democratic strongholds alongside New York and Illinois. Originally a swing state following statehood, California began regularly supporting Republicans by large margins for the first half of the 20th century, with Herbert Hoover calling the state home. This changed with the passing of Civil Rights laws by Democrats in the 1960s and the subsequent rightward shift of the Republican Party. Still, the party remained competitive with Democratic candidates until 1992. Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan elected president carrying and residing in the state. This changed in 1992 amidst a struggling economy, when California flipped from Republican to elect Bill Clinton President. Republicans still won statewide contests in the state until the late 2000s, with Arnold Schwarzenegger elected governor as part of a recall effort.
