gubernatorial
Of state leadership
Gubernatorial means relating to a governor or the office of governor: the gubernatorial race, gubernatorial powers, gubernatorial candidate.
The word appears almost exclusively in American political contexts, where governors head state governments.
It derives from the Latin word for governor, which also gives us govern—though the spelling connection isn't obvious.
