United States Governors 1775-2020

<b>Version 3 release notes:</b>Changes release notes description, does not change data.<b>Version 2 Release Notes:</b>Adds 2019 and 2020 (current) governor data.Adds data as R and Stata formats.<br><br>This data contains the governor of every state or territory from 1775 to 2020. The governor's political party is included. Some governors were in multiple political parties during their lives so this variable may have multiple values for a single governor. <br>Parties prior to 1950 are completely unchanged. <br><br>For parties in years 1950-2018 I standardized spelling of some parties (e.g. "Democratic" to "Democrat") and if a governor was reported to be in multiple parties, set the party for a given year to the party that governor was in during that year. <br><br>All data comes from the National Governors Association website. https://www.nga.org/cms/home<br><br>

<b>Version3发布说明：</b>修改了发布说明的描述文本，未改动数据集内容。<b>Version2发布说明：</b>新增2019年及2020年（当前）的州长数据；新增R与Stata格式的数据集输出。<br><br>本数据集收录了1775年至2020年间美国所有州或领地的州长信息，包含州长的政治党派属性。部分州长生涯中曾隶属于多个政党，因此单一州长对应的党派变量可能存在多值情况。<br>1950年之前的党派信息保持完全不变。<br><br>针对1950-2018年的党派数据，本数据集标准化了部分政党名称的拼写（例如将"Democratic"调整为"Democrat"）；若州长被记录属于多个政党，则以其对应年份的所属政党作为该年度的取值。<br><br>所有数据均来源于美国全国州长协会（National Governors Association）官网，网址为https://www.nga.org/cms/home。
