Governor Mitch Daniels will be replaced in January 2013 by Governor-elect Mike Pence, as Republicans held the Indiana governorship in the 2012 election (Daniels was subject to term limits). Republican Governor-elect Pat McCrory of North Carolina will take office in January 2013, representing a Republican pickup of a governorship held by a Democrat. The net gain will result in Republicans holding governorships in 30 of the 50 states, the highest number for either party in 12 years.

In addition to governors of U.S. states, the RGA also offers membership to Republican governors of U.S. territories.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, current, republican and/or governors:

    “A man’s interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I am opposed to writing about the private lives of living authors and psychoanalyzing them while they are alive. Criticism is getting all mixed up with a combination of the Junior F.B.I.- men, discards from Freud and Jung and a sort of Columnist peep- hole and missing laundry list school.... Every young English professor sees gold in them dirty sheets now. Imagine what they can do with the soiled sheets of four legal beds by the same writer and you can see why their tongues are slavering.”
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    “The English language may hold a more disagreeable combination of words than “The doctor will see you now.” I am willing to concede something to the phrase “Have you anything to say before the current is turned on?””
    —Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    “Follow me if I advance
    Kill me if I retreat
    Avenge me if I die.”
    —Mary Matalin, U.S. Republican political advisor, author, and James Carville b. 1946, U.S. Democratic political advisor, author. All’s Fair: Love, War, and Running for President, epigraph (from a Vietnamese battle cry)

    “I do love this people [the French] with all my heart, and think that with a better religion and a better form of government and their present governors their condition and country would be most enviable.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
