Republican Governors in Clinton 2016 states running for re-election in 2018 being on the ballot with

the Democratic US Senators.
MD-Hogan-R and Cardin-D. The last time a Republican Governor of MD won re-election to a 2nd term was in 1954-Theodore McKeldin-R. Hogan-R is likely to be a one termer.
MA-Baker-R and Warren-D. Baker-R will get re-elected in 2018 but margin of victory will be like Francis Sargeant's 1970 re-election victory-low double digit margin.
VT-Scott-R and Sanders-I/D. Scott-R will get re-elected in 2018. VT has elected and re-elected Republican Governors- Jim Douglas won re-election in 2004,2006,and 2008.

run Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz. He is term limited from running for re-election to the Baltimore County Executive position. Baltimore County is less Democratic than Baltimore City,Howard County,Montgomery County, and Prince Georges County. Kamenetz will make an announcement on running for Governor after labor day. If Kamenetz runs for Governor, he will need to pick a black elected official from the DC Suburbs-Montgomery State Senator Will Smith Jr.-Smith has the same background as Anthony Brown. Kamenetz-Smith-D is the Democratic Ticket to defeat Hogan-Rutherford-R.
