Recently, I have created a mod that allows players to run for governor of a certain state. Unfortunately it currently only works for Virginia and New York, however I expect it to work for more states soon, just as soon as I can get them up in running. The mod its self is in the beta stage for Virginia and New York, and all it essentially does is remove/add candidates and eliminate certain states, but does create new issues. If you would like a copy of the beta version please let me know.
