Miles Godwin became the first man to serve as both a Republican and a Democrat in this political position. The first African-American holder of this position was Douglas Wilder, and a recent holder of this position got in hot water for taking money from Johnnie Williams as part of the Star Scientific (*) Scandal. The Democratic National Committee chairman from 2009 to 2011 had previously held this post and that man would go on to defeat George Allen in a 2012 Senate race. The current holder of this office defeated Ken Cuccinelli in a 2013 election. For 10 points, name this political post that has a one term limit and is currently held by Terry McAuliffe.
