After last night’s primaries in Rhode Island, there are now a record-breaking 14 female gubernatorial nominees.
Why it matters: It’s another sign of the "year of the woman." If all of these women were to win in November, it would more than double the number of female governors in office.
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
- Molly Kelly, D, New Hampshire
- Janet Mills, D, Maine
- Gina Raimondo, D, Rhode Island
