2008 civics test · Question 43 of 100 · American Government: System of Government
Who is the Governor of your state now?
Answer
- Answers will vary. [District of Columbia residents should answer that D.C. does not have a Governor.]
Look up your answer: your U.S. representative, your U.S. senators, your governor and state capital.
This question is from the 2008 test, which is only for people who filed Form N-400 before October 20, 2025. If you filed on or after that date, study the 2025 test instead: see the same question on the 2025 test.
