2018 U.S gubernatorial elections (Porvenir)

United States gubernatorial elections were held on November 6, 2018, in 36 states and three territories. 
As part of the 2018 Democratic fervor, and the prelude to the Second Progressive Era, Democrats dominated in the elections, swiping 7 Republican seats. Republicans were able to do some damage control however, by picking up the only independent governorship in Alaska.
The elections also solidified 2018's reputation as the Year of the Woman, as four of the nineteen new Governors were female.
