Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox election Шаблон:Lead too short United States gubernatorial elections were held in November 1965, in two states.

New Jersey

After his re-election win, Richard J. Hughes tried to introduce an income tax, but that bill died. The tax would come into play after the state Supreme Court handed down a decision concerning property taxes for schools in 1973. Hughes became Chief Justice in 1974, and after much battling with then-Gov. Brendan Byrne and the New Jersey Legislature concerning taxes for public education, the income tax finally made it to New Jersey.[1]

Virginia

The 1965 Virginia's Governor's Race was colorful in that not only a new governor emerged, (Mills E. 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.[3] Not to mention that George Lincoln Rockwell, the 'American Hitler', ran in this race.[4][5]
