Governors

Governors are very important along with state legislatures. They are the highest state office and have the most power in almost every state. They also get to fill any vacancy to the U.S. Senate that occurs during there term. Something to look out for is to see which party gets a majority of these offices in America. Just as there can be a trifecta in presidential election years so to can there be in the midterm years. This can happen by winning the house senate, and governors races at both the state and federal level. Governors races therefore can take on a national nature even though they are state offices. An important function of there office is especially seen during emergencies. They along with the President insure the safety of there residents. When disaster strikes a good Governor is very important along with a good President.
