The United States has 50 states and 5 territories that each elect a governor to serve as chief executive of the state or territorial government. [1]

Contents

The sole federal district, the District of Columbia, elects a mayor to oversee their government in a similar manner. [2] [3]

Most states and territories also have a lieutenant governor who is the second-highest-ranking official and the first to succeed the governor in the event of a vacancy. [4]

As of January 9,2024, there are 27 states with Republican governors and 23 states with Democratic governors. Three territories have Democratic governors, while one has an independent governor. Pedro Pierluisi of Puerto Rico is a member of the New Progressive Party, although he is also affiliated with the Democratic Party. [5] All 55 governors are members of the National Governors Association, a non-partisan organization which represents states and territories in discussions with the federal government. [6] The federal District of Columbia is governed by a Democratic mayor. [7]

The current gubernatorial term ends and new term begins in January of the given year for most states and territories; in Alaska, Hawaii, North Dakota, and Kentucky, the term ends in December of that year's election. [8] [9]

All 55 state and territorial governors are members of the non-partisan National Governors Association, which lobbies the federal government for governors' interests. Other organizations for governors include the partisan Democratic Governors Association and Republican Governors Association; and the three regional associations: Midwestern, Northeastern, and Western. [10]

State governors

The longest serving incumbent U.S. governor is Jay Inslee of Washington, who took office on January 16, 2013. [11] The most recently inaugurated governor is Jeff Landry of Louisiana, who took office on January 8, 2024. [5] A total of 15 current governors previously served as lieutenant governor, while ten previously served in the United States House of Representatives. [12]

The average age of governors at the time of their inauguration was 59.28 years old. Alabama governor Kay Ivey (born 1944) is the oldest current governor, and Arkansas governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders (born 1982) is the youngest. [13] As of the 2022 elections , there are 12 female state governors currently serving. Of the 50 state governors, 46 are non-Hispanic white, two are Hispanic, one is Black, and one is Native American. [13]

The notation "(term limits)" after the year indicates that the governor is ineligible to seek re-election in that year; the notation "(retiring)" indicates that the governor has announced his or her intention not to seek re-election at the end of the term nor to run for another office.
