2022 election results in states with two or more statewide offices
Thirty-six states held elections for governor in 2022. Twenty-six of those states also held elections for U.S. Senate in 2022. In those 26, 20 elected a governor and a senator from the same party. Kansas and Wisconsin elected a Democratic governor and a Republican U.S. senator, while Georgia, New Hampshire, Nevada, and Vermont elected a Republican governor and a Democratic U.S. senator.
Even in states that elected candidates from the same party to both offices, some voters split their tickets, voting for a gubernatorial candidate from one party and a senatorial candidate from the other. As a result, the share of the vote received by winning gubernatorial and senatorial candidates differed. This gap was:
- under two percentage points in 10 states,
- between two and five percentage points in eight states, and
- above five percentage points in seven states.
Results from Alaska's U,S, Senate and gubernatorial elections are not included in this analysis since Gov. Mike Dunleavy (R) won a majority of first-choice votes in the general election, and Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R) received 53.7 percent of votes after the third round of ranked-choice voting.
The narrowest ticket-split took place in Nevada, where Joe Lombardo (R) was elected governor with 48.9% of the vote and Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D) was re-elected with 48.8% of the vote, a 0.1 percentage point gap. Idaho had the narrowest ticket-split among states that elected candidates from the same party. Sen. Mike Crapo (R) was re-elected with 60.7% of the vote and Gov. Brad Little (R) was re-elected with 60.5% of the vote, a 0.2 percentage point difference.
The widest ticket-split took place in Kansas, where Gov. Laura Kelly (R) was re-elected with 49.4% of the vote and Sen. Jerry Moran (R) was re-elected with 60.2% of the vote, a 10.8 percentage point gap. Ohio had the widest ticket-split among states that elected candidates from the same party, with Gov. Mike DeWine (R) winning re-election with 62.8% of the vote while J.D. Vance (R) won election to the U.S. Senate with 53.3%, a 9.5 percentage point gap.
