Eight of the country's top ten conservative governors according to an ALEC report were up for reelection in 2022, with all eight emerging with easy victories Tuesday.
All the country's top conservative governors were easily reelected in midterm elections that overall did not go as well as Republicans hoped.
The Laffer-ALEC 2021 report, which was conducted by well-known conservatives such as ALEC's Dr. Arthur B. Laffer and The Heritage Foundation's Stephen Moore, ranked all 50 governors on their economic, fiscal, and executive policy, with conservative policy positions earning higher marks. The only governor ranked in the top 10 that was not a Republican was Colorado's Polis, who checked in at number four in the rankings. Polis was also able to easily coast to reelection, winning by a margin of 18.1%.
