* Tennessee and North Carolina both elected Republican governors in the late 19th and/or early 20th century. North Carolina elected Daniel Lindsay Russell, a fusion candidate of the Republican and Populist parties, in 1896. Tennessee elected Republican governors in 1910 and 1920. For sake of better comparisons, the options listed above are the first "modern era" post-Reconstruction GOP governors in those states.

Went with Clements on the basis that I've researched the Republican rise in Texas more than the others (not saying much either).
