Virginia Gubernatorial Election, 2017 (The More Things Changed)

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

Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam (D), Chairman of the Board of Supervisors of Prince William County Corey Stewart (R), and patent attorney Cliff Hyra (L) ran for the open seat, which was won by Stewart.
