When the Republican Governors Association holds its winter meeting in Washington, D.C., this month, it will be a full house. The party now controls more state governorships than at any time in almost a century while also having a friendly president and Congress.

“With 33 Republican governors, the most in 95 years, GOP chief executives are fired up to take action, reform their states and get results,” said RGA communications director Jon Thompson. “And now with Republican control of Washington, including a Republican in the White House, they are glad to finally have a seat at the table and have great hope that Washington will adopt many of the reforms they have championed in the states.”
