2026 Elections See Record Black Gubernatorial Candidates
Wes Moore, Maryland's governor, is among at least eight Black candidates running for governor in 2026, representing both parties and several swing states. Moore, the third Black American elected as a state governor, is focused on increasing Black representation in gubernatorial offices amidst historically low numbers. Candidates in key states like Wisconsin, Georgia, Florida, and Nevada aim to overcome electoral challenges, with some seeking to make history as the first Black governor in their states. Despite high Black voter turnout and recent successes, Black candidates often face difficult electoral environments, reflecting ongoing barriers to statewide success in the U.S.
