Does California Have Term Limits on Their Governor?

Yes- California has a lifetime term limit of two four year terms. In fact, current Governor Gavin Newsom (as of 4/14/25), will have served two terms by the next gubernatorial election (11/3/26), so he will be ineligible to run for reelection. Additionally, there will be no incumbents running in that race.

What's your reaction?
