This library is Side One. It teaches the job.
A Governor is the state executive. One per state. Most terms are four years. New Hampshire and Vermont are two years. The Governor is not a United States Senator and not a mayor.
These pages are educational. They are not official government notices, not legal advice, and not an endorsement. For the race, use the Governor Elections twin.
