Updated: Minority Governors by Time in Office

Update: With the 2014 elections, came a new addition to the list: David Ige of Hawaii.  The elections also saw Deval Patrick finish out his term.

We've previously looked (and will continue to look) at women governors and their time in office.  What about minority governors?  There have been only 22 minority governors.  First let's take a look by days in office.  Those in bold are currently serving.

Governor	State	Time in Office
George Ariyoshi	Hawaii	4384 Days
Miguel Antonio Otero	New Mexico	3114 Days
Deval Patrick	Massachusetts	2927 Days
Bill Richardson	New Mexico	2923 Days
Ben Cayetano	Hawaii	2923 Days
John Waihee	Hawaii	2923 Days
Gary Locke	Washington	2920 Days
Bobby Jindal	Louisiana	2566 Days
John Sununu	New Hampshire	2191 Days
Susana Martinez	New Mexico	1483 Days
Brian Sandoval	Nevada	1481 Days
Nikki Haley	South Carolina	1472 Days
Bob Martinez	Florida	1464 Days
Douglas Wilder	Virginia	1463 Days
Toney Anaya	New Mexico	1462 Days
Jerry Apodaca	New Mexico	1462 Days
David Paterson	New York	1020 Days
Raul Castro	Arizona	1019 Days
Octaviano Ambrisio Larrazolo	New Mexico	732 Days
Romualdo Pacheco	California	286 Days
David Ige	Hawaii	53 Days
Ezequiel Cabeza de Baca	New Mexico	49 Days
P.B.S. Pinchback	Louisiana	36 Days

Looking at just how many days someone served doesn't tell the whole story.  As noted with our women governors, Ruth Ann Minner may have been the longest serving woman governor, but how does serving as governor of Delaware compare with serving as governor of Michigan or Texas?

Another way we can look at this list is by their population when they took office multiplied by their days in office through today.  Those in bold are currently serving.

Governor	State	Total Governing Pop.	Time in Office
David Paterson	New York	19,596,684,720	1020 Days
Deval Patrick	Massachusetts	18,825,173,193	2927 Days
Bob Martinez	Florida	17,564,022,312	1464 Days
Gary Locke	Washington	16,570,261,240	2920 Days
Bobby Jindal	Louisiana	11,318,102,536	2566 Days
Douglas Wilder	Virginia	9,052,104,754	1463 Days
Nikki Haley	South Carolina	6,808,565,248	1472 Days
Bill Richardson	New Mexico	5,479,496,722	2923 Days
Brian Sandoval	Nevada	4,033,239,882	1481 Days
George Ariyoshi	Hawaii	3,805,215,552	4384 Days
Ben Cayetano	Hawaii	3,741,167,728	2923 Days
John Waihee	Hawaii	3,074,300,326	2923 Days
Susana Martinez	New Mexico	3,053,762,457	1483 Days
Raul Castro	Arizona	2,328,259,093	1019 Days
John Sununu	New Hampshire	2,099,271,594	2191 Days
Toney Anaya	New Mexico	2,038,555,782	1462 Days
Jerry Apodaca	New Mexico	1,695,838,128	1462 Days
Miguel Antonio Otero	New Mexico	608,195,340	3114 Days
Octaviano Ambrisio Larrazolo	New Mexico	264,984,000	732 Days
Romualdo Pacheco	California	160,230,642	286 Days
David Ige	Hawaii	75,236,733	53 Days
P.B.S. Pinchback	Louisiana	26,168,940	36 Days
Ezequiel Cabeza de Baca	New Mexico	17,689,000	49 Days

One thing that probably stands out are 2 states. Hawaii and New Mexico dominate this list.  Of the 23 minority governors, 11 come from those 2 states. 7 from New Mexico and 4 from Hawaii.
