http://dbpedia.org/resource/1969_Virginia_gubernatorial_election an entity of type: Thing
In the 1969 Virginia gubernatorial election, incumbent Governor Mills E. Godwin, Jr., a Democrat, was unable to seek re-election due to term limits. A. Linwood Holton, Jr., an attorney from Roanoke, was nominated again by the Republican Party to run against former United States Ambassador to Australia, Democratic candidate William C. Battle. The Democrats had held the governor's mansion for 84 years since 1885, and Holton's victory was considered a historic upset at the time. As of 2022, this was the most recent Virginia gubernatorial election in which a Republican won the city of Alexandria.
