The state constitution is somewhat ambiguous on when a governor is supposed to be sworn in, so Wilder and his counterpart in the State House, Ned McWherter, supported the early swearing-in of his Republican successor, Lamar Alexander.

McWherter would have been an overwhelming favorite for a third term if he had been permitted to run for one by the state constitution ; when asked about this, he stated that he would not have run for another term even if it had been permissible.

When it became apparent that no prominent Republicans were going to challenge popular incumbent Tennessee governor Ned McWherter for re-election in 1990, Henry entered the fray, winning the primary election easily, apparently with the understanding that his chances of defeating McWherter in the general election were incredibly low, and also that McWherter, a moderate who was also supported by many prominent Republicans including many of their major contributors and fund raisers, would control the vast majority of all finanicial contributions made to the race.

While several former state House speakers have risen to the governorship, McWherter is the only person to hold that post right up to the time he was elected governor.

During his first term, McWherter insisted that all formal governmental proceedings be open to the public and press, thus implementing the spirit, as well as the letter, of the " sunshine law " he had helped to author and sponsor while a member of the House.
