List of Lieutenant Governors of Alaska
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of people who have served as lieutenant governor of the U.S. state of Alaska since statehood in 1959. The position did not exist prior to statehood, though the territorial-era Secretary of Alaska was somewhat analogous. Prior to August 25, 1970, the position was referred to as Secretary of State, but was functionally identical.[1]
