List of Lieutenant Governors of California

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a List of Lieutenant Governors of the U.S. state of California, 1850 to present. In California, the Lieutenant Governor and the governor do not run together on the same ticket. The Lieutenant Governor can therefore be affiliated with a different political party than that of the Governor. Per the California Constitution, the Lieutenant Governor is the President of the State Senate.
