List of Lieutenant Governors of Indiana

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The office of Lieutenant Governor ( lieutenant governor ) in the US state of Indiana has existed since the state was founded in the year 1816. The respective incumbent is the first successor to the governor if the latter resigns, dies or is removed from his post. This case has occurred twelve times so far. In addition, the Vice-Governor presides over the State Senate as President. The governor and lieutenant governor are elected together and therefore usually belong to the same party.
