The only Governor to every serve two terms since the 1851 rewrite of Virginia Constitution was Mills Godwin in 1966 and 1974. His first term, he served as a Democrat, and he was a Republican his second. The constitution doesn’t allow two consecutive terms, but does allow non-consecutive.
He announced the candidacy along with two legislative leaders.
