Mike Schofield who was elected in November 2010.
Not sure about Gary Sinise?
On who is going replace Max Lobell then it should be Former Governor Charlie Forrester, a former two term Governor, (Governor before Schofield) and he is also Lobell's Former Chief of Staff and is married Lobells youngest daughter. The obvious choice.
Here is a direct copy of the 2010 bio of Forrester, who was suggested as a possibel running-mate for Walken.

Governor Charles Forrester
Born February 15th 1954, Atlanta, Georgia.
An American Politician currently serving as the Governor of Georgia.
His father George was a Vet and his mother Jenny was a teacher. Forrester has been known as Charlie since childhood and prefers to be called by that name (he was sworn in and signs official documents as "Charlie Forrester").
He attended Frederick Douglass High School in Atlanta, and later the John Marshall Law School, graduating in 1977.
He worked at Atlanta, Law Firm Brown and Stringer from 1978 to 1981. In 1981 he left his job and travelled across the country from Georgia to Calafornia for two years, working in bars, restruants, Hotels and even as a garbageman for six months in Austin Texas in 1982. He said that the experience changed his outlook on life, and convinced him to go into public serice and try and help people. After his trip he got a job as an intern for Georgia Congressman Walter French, before becoming a legislative aide to Georgia Senator Max Lobell from 1984 to 1991, rising to be his Chief of Staff from 1988.He then served in the Lassiter Administration in the Small Business Administration, before winning election to the House of Representatives in 1994 for the Georgia 15th District with the retirement of the 84 year old Harold Tyler. He defeated Democratic challenger Gene Carling 61-39%.
After running for re-election un-challenged in 1996, he decided against re-election instead deciding to run for Governor against Democratic incumbent Warren Duncan. In a bitter and negative campaign by Duncan, Forrester famously when struck by an egg by a heckler at a rally, attempted to wade into the crowd and get at his attacker. He was also not helped by praising US General Sherman, a man hated in the state, when he called him an “American Hero”. Never the less the race was a close one, and Forrester lost the election by a mere 1,124 votes, and after three recounts.
Rather than return to Congress two years later, he went to work for lobbying Firm Wooding and Howlett in Washington.
In November 2001 he resigned and he announced he would seek the Governship for a second time. He faced Duncan’s Lt Governor William Cooke. In another nasty race, Forrester won 54-46%. Forrester was re-elected to a second term in the 2006. His Democratic opponent was the Mayor of Atlanta Anthony Dyson. Forrester won handily with 59% of the vote .He is constitutionally ineligible to seek a third consecutive term as Governor in 2010.
Forrseter's main focus in office has been on reforming state government, cutting taxes, and growing the state's economy. Forrester has advocated reforms designed to cut waste in government, most notably the sale of surplus vehicles and real estate. Prior to Forrester’s becoming Governor, no state agency had even compiled an inventory of what assets the state owned, much less managed them.
He rejected much of the stimulus money last year because he said it would force him to raise taxes.
Forrester is known for his unorthodox style. During all three of his Governor races he held meeting’s and press conferences in local bars and clubs, called “Have a beer with Charlie”. Other than the famous egg incident from 1998, four years later when told by a heckler that he was talking rubbish, he replied by saying “Come up here and prove me wrong”. The heckler declined.
Forrester is against abortion, apart from cases of rape and incest. He also is against Gay marriage but believes it to be a state matter not a Federal one.
In 1986 he married the youngest Daughter of Senator Max Lobell, Rachel. They have two Children, Max born in 1987 and Alison born in 1991.
