state leaders

Regional chief executives

State leaders are the chief executives of U.S. states—typically governors.

The term appears in news coverage and political contexts when referring to multiple governors acting collectively or being compared: State leaders urged Congress to increase infrastructure funding.

Outside U.S. politics, it may refer more broadly to regional political figures.
