2021 US Gubernatorial Elections (King's World)

The 2021 Gubernatorial Elections consisted of New Jersey and Virginia holding governor elections.

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy ran for re-election.

In Virginia, a governor can only serve one 4 year term before having to wait another 4 years to run again. Many expected Justin Fairfax or Mark Herring to become the Democratic Nominee's but both were scathed due to scandals.

Democratic voters in the state didn't want to take the chance and hand Republicans ammunition in the general. Instead the Democrats nominated Jennifer Carroll Foy who went on to win in the general election by a wide margin. Governor Foy also became the first African American woman Govrnor in history.
