All 17 of the States that filed the offshore wind law suit have Democrat governors. However, 6 States with Democrat governors are not parties in the suit (see table below). Two of those governors, Andy Breshear, and Josh Shapiro, are leading moderates within the Democrat party.
| State | Governor |
| Hawaii | Josh Green |
| Kansas | Laura Kelly |
| Kentucky | Andy Beshear |
| North Carolina | Josh Stein |
| Pennsylvania | Josh Shapiro |
| Wisonsin | Tony Evers |
The State where participation in this suit could have the most political impact is New Jersey, given the well organized wind opposition “down the shore.” However, Gov. Phil Murphy, whose offshore wind promotion has been widely criticized, is not eligible to run for re-election later this year.
