State governors

The current term ends and new term begins in January of the given year for every state except for Alaska, Hawaii, North Dakota, New York and Kentucky, where the term ends in December of that year's election. The notation "(term limits)" after the year indicates that the current governor is ineligible to seek re-election in that year; the notation "(retiring)" indicates that the current governor has announced his or her intention not to seek re-election at the end of the term nor to run for another office. Currently, the longest serving incumbent U.S. governor is Jay Inslee of Washington, having served since January 2013, and the most recently inaugurated governor is Glenn Youngkin of Virginia, having served since January 2022. In terms of age, Alabama governor Kay Ivey (born 1944) is the oldest governor, and Florida governor Ron DeSantis (born 1978) is the youngest.
