2022 United States gubernatorial elections (YoungLibertarian20)

United States gubernatorial elections will be held on November 8, 2022, in 36 states and three territories. Also, special elections may take place (depending on state law) if other gubernatorial seats are vacated.
As most governors serve four-year terms, the last regular gubernatorial elections for all but two of the seats took place in 2018. The governors of New Hampshire and Vermont, each of whom serves two-year terms, ran in the 2020 elections. The 2022 gubernatorial elections will take place concurrently with several other federal, state and local elections.
Democrats gained two governorships previously held by Republicans: Maryland and Massachusetts. Republicans won four governorships previously held by Democrats: Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. In total, a net gain of two seats were gained by Republicans. Two Republican incumbents, Brian Kemp and Mike DeWine, lost re-nomination but their party ultimately held on to the governorships.
