Appoint governor

0 I have seen the following sample sentence 02br
00in a publication in Japan. 02br
00"Mr. Logan was appointed chief executive." 02br
00The publication says this 'chief executive' 02br
00is the governor (of a state in the US). 02br
00(The names are all fictitious.) 02br
00QUESTIONS: 02br
001. Don't we need the name of the state like 02br
00'chief executive of the State of Illinois'? 02br
002. Is a governor of a state appointed or 02br
00elected? 02br
00Thank you. 0-

0It sounds to me as if Logan is perhaps a former governor of some state (Illinois is just your example, isn't it?) who has subsequently been appointed CEO of some company. 02br
