2025 United States gubernatorial elections

United States gubernatorial elections are scheduled to be held on November 4, 2025, in two states, New Jersey and Virginia. These elections form part of the 2025 United States elections. The last gubernatorial elections for New Jersey and Virginia were in 2021. Both incumbents are in-eligible to run for re-election due to term limits. More states may hold elections due to a gubernatorial vacancy (depending on a state's constitution) or recall of a governor.

New Jersey
Governor Phil Murphy was re-elected to a second term in 2021 with 51.2% of the vote. He will be term-limited by the New Jersey Constitution in 2025 and cannot seek re-election for a third consecutive term. Jersey City mayor Steven Fulop, former New Jersey Senate president Stephen Sweeney and Newark mayor Ras Baraka are running for the Democratic nomination. Former state assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli, who was the 2021 Republican gubernatorial nominee, state senator Jon Bramnick, and former state senator Edward Durr are seeking the Republican nomination.

Virginia
Governor Glenn Youngkin was elected in 2021 with 50.6% of the vote. He will be term-limited by the Virginia Constitution in 2025 and cannot seek re-election for a second consecutive term. Attorney General Jason Miyares and Lieutenant Governor Winsome Sears have been mentioned as potential Republican gubernatorial candidates. U.S. Representative for Virginia's 7th congressional district Abigail Spanberger is running for the Democratic nomination.
