First Lady of Virginia
The spouse of the Governor of Virginia is given an honorary position, styled as First Lady or First Gentleman of the Commonwealth of Virginia. As of 2025, there have been no female governors of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and all first spouses have been first ladies. The election of Abigail Spanberger in 2025 will result in her husband, Adam Spanberger, becoming the First Gentleman of Virginia when she takes office in January 2026.
The current first lady of Virginia is Suzanne Youngkin, the wife of incumbent Governor Glenn Youngkin, who assumed office in 2022.
The position of the first lady is not an elected one, carries no official duties, and receives no salary. However, the first lady holds a highly visible position in state government. Since 1813, the role of the first lady includes serving as the host of the Executive Mansion. She organizes and attends official ceremonies and functions of state either along with, or in place of, the governor. It is common for the governor's spouse to select specific, non-political, causes to promote.
