Electing Governors

By: Finn, Peter

The governor is the head of a state's government. They act somewhat like the U.S. president in that their job is to execute the laws of the state, making sure they're carried out. Elections for governors can run a bit differently from state to state and their duties and responsibilities to their constituents can also vary. This valuable volume takes readers behind this seat of power in state government. They'll learn how their governor's actions impact their lives and how to interact with state government. Sidebars, fact boxes, and photographs will further engage budding politicians with important parts of the social studies curriculum.
