Virginia gubernatorial election, 2017 (President Sanders)

The Virginia gubernatorial election of 2017 was held on November 7, 2017. The incumbent governor, Democrat Terry McAuliffe, was not eligible to run for re-election due to term limits established by the Virginia Constitution. Virginia is the only state that prohibits its governor from serving consecutive terms.

Republican nominee Corey Stewart won in an upset, defeating Democrat Tom Perriello. The race was seen as a referendum against President Bernie Sanders's liberal policies.
