List of governors of Connecticut: Difference between revisions

There have been 69 post-Revolution governors of the state, serving 73 distinct spans in office. Four have served non-consecutive terms: [[Henry W. Edwards]], [[James E. English]], [[Marshall Jewell]], and [[Raymond E. Baldwin]]. The longest terms in office were in the state's early years, when four governors were elected to nine or more one-year terms. The longest was that of the first governor, [[Jonathan Trumbull]], who served over 14 years, but 7 of those as colonial governor; the longest-serving state governor — with no other position included in the term — was his son, [[Jonathan Trumbull Jr.]], who served over 11 years. The shortest term was that of [[Hiram Bingham III]], who served only one day before resigning to take an elected seat in the [[United States Senate]]. Additionally, [[Lowell Weicker]] is noted for a rare [[Third party (United States)|third party]] win in American politics, having been elected to a term in 1990 representing [[A Connecticut Party]].
