    Here are the Governorships I'll be watching this year:
    *MI: Can MI Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D) hold on against former Detroit PD Police Chief James Craig (R) ?

    *KS: KS GOP determined to win back Cedar Crest (Residence of the KS Governor)

    *WI: WI Governor Tony Evers (D), who despite winning 4 consecutive statewide elections as WI Superintendent of Public Instruction (2009, 2013, 2017) & WI Governor (2018), has been facing outright hostility from the GOP-controlled WI State Legislature, who has aggressively used the McConnell playbook at full max.

    It looks like former WI Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch (R) will be the GOP nominee.

    *IA: How long will IA Governor Kim Reynolds (R) stay in Cedar Hill (Residence of the IA Governor) ?

    *GA: The Dem nominee will obviously be former State Rep & former GA House of Representatives Minority Leader Stacey Abrams (D-Atlanta).

    Most intriguing to watch will be the GOP primary between GA Governor Brian Kemp (R) & former United States Senator David Perdue (R-GA).

    *FL: Will FL Governor Ron DeSantis (R) win reelection by double digits ?

    *PA (Open): Can the PA Dems keep the Governor's Residence (Residence of the PA Governor) for a 3rd consecutive term in 2022 ?

    PA State Attorney General Josh Shapiro (D) will likely become the Dem nominee for the Governorship.

    *NV: Can NV Governor Steve Sisolak (D) & the down-ballot statewide officeholders avoid the GOP wave ?

    *AZ (Open): Will the AZ Dems break their losing streak in 2022 ? AZ Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D) will force the GOP to spend precious resources in the Grand Canyon State.

    *OR (Open): Will the OR GOP pull a Youngkin-style shocker & end 36 years of Dem control of Mahonia Hall (Residence of the OR Governor) in 2022 ?

    KY State Attorney General Daniel Cameron (R) announcing his campaign for the KY Governor's Mansion in 2023 against KY Governor Andy Beshear (D).

    Cameron joins a growing GOP primary field for the right take on a popular incumbent Dem Governor who's got 60% approval rating.

    Some high-profile Dems privately think Abrams will lose & fade into irrelevance. Let's not forget about other GA Dems waiting in the wings in 2026 on the likelihood of GA Governor Brian Kemp (R) winning reelection this fall.
