Yes they are. In fact, there have been elected governors since the beginnings of the United States (prior to that, when the US was run by England, the King appointed the governors for each of the colonies, providing the colonists with little if any input). The governor is the head of the executive branch in each state, and candidates must run for office every four years (except in New Hampshire and Vermont, where governors serve two year terms).
