Me: George Deukmejian (R-CA)

Mom: Leobardo Reynoso (?-Zacatecas, Mexico)
Dad: Earl Warren (R-CA)

Fun fact: When my dad first began his career, Jerry Brown was the governor. When my dad retired over 35 years later, Jerry Brown was again the Governor.

It's funny to think that if someone was born in 1984, in Iowa, and had kids in 2014, in Iowa, Terry Branstad would be the Governor for both Parents and child.

Same for Jerry Brown and California.

Governor in the state where they were born, or where we live now?  My mom was born here, but she currently lives in Texas, so I guess I'll include both for her.

Me (1993): John Engler (R-MI)

My mom: C. William O'Neill (R-OH) (1957)

It doesn't quite work for those years as Brown left in early 1983, but if you take two years off, you're right. And that's true of my aunt and her daughter. My aunt was born in 1982 and she had a daughter born in 2011, so both were born under Governor Brown.

Parents:
Mam: Some commie bastard.
Dad: Some commie bastard.
But in Ontario there was Bill Davis (mom) and John Robarts (dad). I'd say they weren't so bad despite being tories.

George Pataki (R-NY) for me; Petro Shelest (C-UK) for my father, and Vladimir Scherbitsky (C-UK) for my mother.

Since some are listing grandparents as well, I'll note that both my maternal grandparents, along with my paternal grandfather, were born during the administration (is that the word?) of later-much-more-famous Nikita Khruschev (C-UK). My grandmother was born during the "administration" of Ivan Vlasov (C-RU).

Basically, this:
Mam: Some commie bastard.
Dad: Some commie bastard.
