Everything about List Of Governors Of Hawaii totally explained

Party	Governors
Democratic	4
Republican	2

The following is a list of the Governors of the State of Hawaii and Hawaii Territory. The governor is the chief executive of the state, and commander-in-chief of the state armed forces.
The governor is elected to a four-year term commencing on the first Monday in the December following the election. The lieutenant governor is elected for the same term and, since 1964, on the same ticket as the governor. The 1978 constitutional convention established a term limit of two terms for both offices. If the office of governor is vacant, the lieutenant governor becomes governor; if the governor is out of the state or unable to fulfill their duties, the lieutenant governor acts as governor during such absence or disability.
Of the six governors of the state, two have been elected to three terms, and three have been elected to two terms. The only one-term governor was the first, William F. Quinn, though he also served a term as territorial governor. No state governor has yet resigned or died in office, nor did any territorial governor die in office. The sixth and current governor of Hawaii is Linda Lingle, elected in 2002 and re-elected in 2006. She is the first female and first Jewish governor of the state, and the first Republican to hold the office since 1962. The next election will be in 2010, with Lingle's term ending on December 4 2010.

Governors

The Republic of Hawaii was annexed by the United States in 1898. It was organized into Hawaii Territory in 1900, and admitted as a state in 1959. The Republic had only one president, Sanford B. Dole, who later was the first territorial governor. Between 1893 and 1894, Hawaii was under the Provisional Government of Hawaii, with no formal leader. Before 1893, Hawaii was a monarchy; see list of monarchs of Hawaii.
