Question 61 of 128 · American Government · System of Government
Who is the governor of your state now?
On the 65/20 list: one of the 20 questions for applicants 65 or older with 20 years as permanent residents.
Official answer
Answers will vary. [District of Columbia residents should answer that D.C. does not have a governor.]
The answer depends on the state where you live. Find the answer for your state.
Why this is the answer
Each of the 50 states has a governor, the head of the state's executive branch, roughly what the President is for the country. The answer is the governor of the state where you live, and governors change with elections, so check the name before your interview; the federal government's site usa.gov keeps a page that lists every current governor. Washington, D.C. is not a state and has no governor; residents should say so. Memory hook: your state's chief executive is your governor.
