Notes
- ↑ Each term for which a governor is elected is listed here; if multiple governors served in a single term, due to resignations, deaths, and the like, then that term will be shared among those governors. If a governor was elected multiple times, then there will be multiple terms listed for that governor.
- ↑ The office of Lieutenant Governor was created in 1976.[4] Lieutenant governors were elected separately from the governor until 1980; those that represented a different party from their governor are noted.
- ↑ Represented the Republican Party
- ↑ As lieutenant governor, filled unexpired term
