Gary Richard Herbert (born May 7, 1947) is the 17th and current Governor of the U.S. state of Utah. Having served as the sixth Lieutenant Governor of Utah from 2005 to 2009, he assumed the governorship on August 11, 2009, following the resignation of Jon Huntsman, who was appointed United States Ambassador to the People's Republic of China by President Barack Obama. Governor Herbert was elected to his own term of office in a 2010 Special Election in Utah, defeating his opponent 65%-31%.
