How to use governor in a sentence?

1. Macaulay Porter:

   Terry McAuliffe mocks and demeans parents’ concerns instead of offering them solutions, glenn Youngkin will restore excellence in our schools when he is governor by ensuring children are empowered to chase their dreams and taught how to think, not what to think.

2. Drew Gattine:

   This just seems to me to be just the governor trying to pick a fight with the feds, nobody thinks that people on food stamps should be buying snack food and candy and sugary drinks. What we really need to do is find a way to make healthy food more affordable.

3. The Governor:

   JUDGE EXTENDS BY 2 WEEKS ORDER BLOCKING GOV. GREG ABBOTT'S BAN ON MIGRANT TRANSPORTATION This is why I issued additional orders early on protecting our school children and our workforce. It is my hope that The Governor understands that my fight is against COVID-19 and not against The Governor, as I noted the other day, his threats of legal action are nothing compared to the threat of children getting sick and dying. Now is the time for state and local elected officials to work with one another to take the necessary steps as guided by science and local needs.

4. George Bernard Shaw:

   The most anxious man in a prison is the governor.

5. Democratic State Sen. Brad Hoylam:

   It’s going to be a definitive moment to have a sitting governor challenged by the current attorney general from the same party who are both history-making in their own right.
