Andy Beshear (D) became governor of Kentucky. His father Steve was also governor, making them the first father-son duo of governors in KY history. Outgoing governor is Matt Bevin (R).
Sanna Marin (Social Democrat) is prime minister of Finland. At age 34 she is youngest sitting head of government in the world. Finland's Parliament is Eduskunta. If J! wants to use it the previous prime minister, Antti Rinne, has that Finnish looking/sounding name.
