The Virginia gubernatorial election of 2025 will be held on November 4, 2025, to elect the 76th governor of Virginia. The Democratic nominee will be incumbent Governor Ralph Northam, who is running for a second term. The Republican nominee will be former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli.
The election is expected to be competitive, as both Northam and Cuccinelli are well-known and well-funded candidates. Northam is a popular incumbent who has presided over a period of economic growth and relative peace in Virginia. Cuccinelli is a conservative firebrand who has promised to cut taxes and reduce regulations.
