1937 United States gubernatorial elections
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
United States gubernatorial elections were held on November 2, 1937, in two states. Virginia holds its gubernatorial elections in odd numbered years, every 4 years, following the United States presidential election year. New Jersey at this time held gubernatorial elections every 3 years, which it would abandon in 1949. This marks the Democratic Party's largest gubernatorial extent in history and the largest for any party.
