Summary

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.

While like all officials in the United States, checks and balances are placed on the office of the governor, significant powers may include ceremonial head of state (representing the state), executive (overseeing the state’s government), legislative (proposing, and signing or vetoing laws), judicial (granting state law pardons or commutations), and military (overseeing the militia and organized armed forces of the state). 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.

This is a list of the current governors of the 50 U.S. states, and of the five U.S. territories that elect governors to serve as their chief executives.

Overview

All 50 U.S. states elect governors. Five U.S. territories also elect governors to serve as their chief executives.[1] The sole U.S. federal district, the District of Columbia, elects a mayor to oversee its government in a similar manner.[2][3] In the event of a vacancy, the governor is succeeded by the second-highest-ranking state official; in 45 states and four territories, the lieutenant governor is the first in the line of succession.[4][5]

As of January 25, 2025, there are 27 states with Republican governors and 23 states with Democratic governors. The Republican Party and the Democratic Party control two territorial governorships each. Jenniffer González-Colón of Puerto Rico is a member of the New Progressive Party, although she is also affiliated with the Republican Party.[1] The District of Columbia is governed by a Democratic mayor.[6]

In most states and territories, new gubernatorial terms begin in January; in Alaska, Hawaii, North Dakota, and Kentucky, however, new terms begin in December.[7][8] Governors serve four-year terms in most states and all territories; the governors of New Hampshire and Vermont serve two-year terms. Most states and territories also have gubernatorial term limits. To run for governor, a candidate must generally be a U.S. citizen with prior state residence who meets a minimum age requirement (set at 30 years of age in 35 states).[9]

All 55 governors are members of the National Governors Association, a nonpartisan organization which represents states and territories in discussions with the federal government.[10] Other organizations for governors include the partisan Democratic Governors Association and Republican Governors Association, as well as the Coalition of Northeastern Governors, the Midwestern Governors Association, and the Western Governors Association.[11]

The longest-serving incumbent U.S. governor is Greg Abbott of Texas, who took office on January 20, 2015. The most recently inaugurated governor is Larry Rhoden of South Dakota, who took office on January 25, 2025.[12] A total of 15 current governors previously served as lieutenant governor, while 11 previously served in the United States House of Representatives.[13]

The average age of current U.S. governors at their respective most recent inaugurations is approximately 59 years of age. Alabama governor Kay Ivey (born 1944) is the oldest current governor, and Arkansas governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders (born 1982) is the youngest.[14] As of January 2025, there are 12 female governors in the United States. Of the 50 state governors, 47 are non-Hispanic white, one (Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico) is Hispanic, one (Wes Moore of Maryland) is Black, and one (Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma) is Native American.[14]

The notation “(term limits)” after the year set forth in the list below indicates that a governor is ineligible to seek re-election in that year. The notation “(retiring)” indicates that a governor has announced that he or she will not seek re-election or seek another office at the end of his or her current term.

Federal district mayor

The District of Columbia is a federal district that elects a mayor that has similar powers to those of a state or territorial governor.[2] The cities of Washington and Georgetown within the district elected their own mayors until 1871, when their governments were consolidated into a reorganized District of Columbia by a Congressional act.[79] The district’s chief executive from 1871 to 1874 was a governor appointed by the president of the United States; the office was replaced by a board of commissioners with three members appointed by the president—two residents and a representative from the United States Army Corps of Engineers.[79][80] The Board of Commissioners was originally a temporary body but was made permanent in 1878 with one member selected to serve as the Board President, in effect the city’s chief executive.[81] The system was replaced in 1967 by a single mayor–commissioner and home rule in the District of Columbia was fully restored in 1975 under a reorganized government led by an elected mayor.[82]
