2020 Gubernational elections: Who is running megathread

[heatcharger]

VA: Perriello considering.

I like Perriello, but I feel like he's a better fit for a state like Wisconsin or Michigan rather than Virginia. Still, I think he'll excite the "base" more than Northam can, and VA Dems cannot afford low turnout in this year's election.

I'm undecided as for who I'd vote for in the primary, but I'm actually glad there's a solid alternative as long as nothing gets nasty.

CT Gov. Malloy says he will decide on reelection after the budget is completed in the spring.

Is there a Democrat who could successfully primary him/force him to retire?

CT: Ted Kennedy Jr. probably running.

Good. Malloy must be stopped from running again, although I'm not sure if having two Kennedys run is a good idea.

Senator Susan Collins says she may run for Governor of Maine

Doesn't that mean there has to be a special election for her seat?

She'd get to make the appointment and then there would be the normal election in 2020.

Are you sure? According to this Maine law:

There would most likely be a special election in 2019. If this is the case, I think I may actually be willing to make this trade.

Representatives & Senators aren't the same thing.

Sounds like no special election in this case.

Tony Evers just filed to run. I think he'd be a solid candidate.
