Territorial Governors

[edit]

Why are the mayors of D.C. included but not the territorial governors of US territories? By that I mean governors of the US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Northern Mariana Islands, and Guam? More specifically, I mean the US Virgin Islands, which has certainly had and has a governor of African descent. As for the other territories, I don't know whether they have had any African American governors. It's possible they have not ever had one, but the US Virgin Islands certainly has. I see no reason to omit them from the list unless the article is strictly limited to state governors only. I am not opposed to the inclusion of D.C. mayors, since, in many respects, the mayor of D.C. is tantamount to a governor, though I wouldn't list them in the category of "Territorial Governors" since their official title is not governor, nor is D.C. technically a "U.S. territory." Please someone fix this. Or at least explain the logic in leaving it the way it is. Thank you. 66.91.36.8 (talk) 04:54, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
