Notes

  1. ↑ Became Governor on December 20, 1870.
  2. ↑ Robinson is often referred to as "acting Lieutenant Governor" from 1879 through 1881, because, as President Pro Tempore of the Senate at the time that Jarvis succeeded to the governorship, he became President of the Senate, putting him next in line to succeed the governor. However, technically, there is no such office as "acting" lieutenant governor, meaning that the office was vacant, just as it had been in periods such as 1874-1877. Robinson was elected lieutenant governor in his own right in 1880.
  3. ↑ Died in office.
  4. ↑ First Lt. Governor to serve two terms.
  5. ↑ First Republican elected since Reynolds in 1896.
  6. ↑ First female Lt. Governor.
  7. ↑ First African American Lt. Governor.
