1965 United States gubernatorial elections

After his re-election win, Richard J. Hughes tried to introduce an income tax, but that bill died.

Godwin, Jr.), who would go on to serve the term as a Democrat and later serve another term as a Republican in the 1970s,[2] but that another opponent, A. Linwood Holton, Jr., would go on to serve a term as Virginia's first Republican Governor since Reconstruction.
