Some speculated that his wife incumbent Congresswoman Ruth Mariano-Hernandez of the 2nd District will run for his post, but Mariano-Hernandez didn't say anything if she will run for the seat or she will run for re-election in her seat in the House.[3] The other speculated candidates were incumbent Vice Governor Katherine Agapay and former Vice Governor and incumbent Santa Rosa Congressman Danilo Ramon "Dan" Fernandez.[4][5] Former Representative Marisol Aragones-Sampelo was also speculated to run again for the said position, but she has more possibility to run for Vice Governor.[6][7][8][9][10] But she also speculated to run as a Party-list Representative under the Akay ni Sol Party-list.[11] Former Governor Emilio Ramon "E. R." Ejercito III is also speculated to run for Governor, whom he was defeated by Hernandez in 2016 and 2019 gubernatorial election's.[12]

Incumbent Vice Govermor Katherine Agapay is also term-limited for being currently in her third consecutive full-term; she assumed the post in 2014 when the Vice Governor Ramil Hernandez was elevated to the Governorship, when then-Governor Emilio Ramon "E. R." Ejercito III resign after his alleged overspending during his 2013 campaign. Agapay was speculated to run for Governor, but also didn't say anything if she will run for the post.[7] Incumbent board member's Magtangol Jose Carait, Peewee Platon Perez, and Christian Niño Lajara and former Representative Sol Aragones were speculated to run for Agapay's seat.[6][10]
