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.

Partisan composition[]

Going into the election, there are 28 Republican governors and 22 Democratic governors in the United States. This class of governors is made up of 20 Republicans and 16 Democrats.

In contrast to 2018, where Republicans were defending eight seats in states won by Donald Trump in 2016, Republicans hold six seats in states won by Joe Biden in 2020. Meanwhile, Democrats were defending one governorship from the last midterm elections in a state won by Trump in 2016 and are now defending one governorship in a state that Trump won in 2020.

Election predictions[]

Several sites and individuals publish predictions of competitive seats. These predictions look at factors such as the strength of the incumbent (if the incumbent is running for re-election), the strength of the candidates, and the partisan leanings of the state (reflected in part by the state's Cook Partisan Voting Index rating). The predictions assign ratings to each state, with the rating indicating the predicted advantage that a party has in winning that seat.

Most election predictors use:

  • "tossup": no advantage
  • "tilt" (used by some predictors): advantage that is not quite as strong as "lean"
  • "lean": slight advantage
  • "likely": significant, but surmountable, advantage
  • "safe" or "solid": near-certain chance of victory

Governor Andrew Cuomo was re-elected to a third term in 2018 with 59.6% of the vote.

On May 28, 2019, Cuomo announced that he would run for re-election for a fourth term in 2022.[307][308]

Cuomo was expected to face a primary challenge for the Democratic nomination as a result of allegations of sexual harassment involving Cuomo and a simultaneous investigation into his administration's cover-up of nursing home deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic.[309] Cuomo resigned as governor at the end of August 23, 2021, upon which Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul became governor.[310] Hochul has said she is running for a full gubernatorial term.[311] Current New York Attorney General Letitia James was previously running against Hochul in the primary, but later changed her mind to run for re-election.[312][313] Current New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams announced he will be running against Hochul in the primary, as will current U.S representative Thomas Suozzi.[314][315]

Despite previous speculation of challenging Cuomo, Republican Representative Tom Reed has announced he will retire from politics likely due to his own allegations of sexual misconduct against him, which he has neither confirmed nor denied.[316]
