2020 Gubernational elections: Who is running megathread

[TheSaint250]

Maine's independent treasurer declared that she would run for governor today. She looks like she might be the big third party candidate seen in past gubernatorial elections.

Kevin Faulconer (R) just announced on his Facebook page that he will NOT run for Governor.

I thought he was the best chance to avoid a D vs. D election

That certainly now appears more likely than before. This could also have Congressional implications, in that there is now probably no major Republican name at the top of the ticket to get Republicans out to vote (and possibly no Republican at all if it is D vs. D). Democrats could flip 7 seats in California alone.

That could very well happen.

Poll: Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards' approval rating climbs to 65%, outpacing Kennedy, Cassidy

Only candidate I could see giving JBE trouble is Scalise, may be more inclined to run if GOP is in the minority.

Huh. I'd never thought about him, but you're right.

FL: Patrick Murphy and David Jolly are considering a 3rd party ticket.

Wtf

Ok if they do they better switch spots. I'd rather have Jolly than Murphy. Murphy was a pretty bad Senate candidate. Jolly, however, is great.

Update: Murphy would run in the Dem primary.

Well that's a stupid strategy

EDIT: I guess so is running as an indy in a statewide Floridian election
