As Lieutenant Governor, you would serve as a key leader in your state, supporting the governor while also stepping in as acting governor when needed. Similar to the Vice President at the federal level, your role would be to ensure the smooth functioning of the state’s executive branch, advancing the governor’s legislative priorities, and serving as an ambassador for the state on the national and global stage.
In many states, the Lieutenant Governor also presides over the state senate, casting tie-breaking votes and influencing legislative agendas. This position offers a unique opportunity to be deeply involved in both governance and legislation, helping shape the direction of your state’s policies.
If you’re passionate about leadership, public service, and ensuring the state government runs efficiently and effectively, running for Lieutenant Governor could be your chance to play a central role in shaping the future of your state.
