Direct answer: As of November 2025, there are 13 female governors serving in U.S. states, a new record surpassing previous years. Context and details:
- The number of women who have served as governors has been increasing in recent years, with a historic high reached in the early 2020s and continuing into 2025. For context, prior milestones included 12 concurrent female governors in 2023 and 13 in 2024–2025 as new elections expanded female representation.
- The current roster includes a mix of Democratic and Republican women governors, reflecting growing cross-party gains in statewide executive leadership.
If you’d like, I can narrow this down to the exact names and party affiliations of the current female governors, or provide a short historical timeline of milestones in this area.
