After last night’s primaries in Rhode Island, there are now a record-breaking 14 female gubernatorial nominees.

Meet the women nominees for governor:
- Mary Throne, D, Wyoming
- Kate Brown, D, Oregon
- Paulette Jordan, D, Idaho
- Kristi Noem, R, South Dakota
- Michelle Lujan Grisham, D, New Mexico
- Lupe Valdez, D, Texas
- Kim Reynolds, R, Iowa
- Gretchen Whitmer, D, Michigan
- Kay Ivey, R, Alabama
- Stacey Abrams, D, Georgia
- Christine Hallquist, D, Vermont
