Governor (State)

A governor is the elected leader of a U.S. state, responsible for overseeing the implementation of state laws, managing the state government, and making policy decisions. They serve as the state's chief executive, similar to how the President is for the country but at a state level. Governors can sign or veto legislation, propose budgets, and often have the authority to appoint state officials. Their role is crucial in shaping the state's priorities, ensuring laws are enforced, and responding to emergencies or issues affecting their state’s residents.
