How to run for governor?
If you are running as a major party (democrat or republican) then you have to get the party to endorse you. That means that you have to be firmly established in that group. It means that you have to be financially backed and grounded in the support of the group through beliefs, history and popularity. IF you can fulfill all these requirements, then the party puts you on the ballot. If you don't run as a member of a party and have their support then you have to get enough support from other people through the use of a petition and signatures on that petition, in order for the secretary of state for that state to put your name on the ballot.
