The lieutenant governor of Colorado is the second-highest-ranking member of the executive department of the Government of Colorado, United States, below the governor of Colorado. The lieutenant governor of Colorado, who acts as governor of Colorado in the absence of the officeholder and succeeds to the governorship in case of vacancy, is elected on a partisan ticket.

After the 1966 general election, the Constitution of Colorado was amended to require the joint election of governor and lieutenant governor — candidates running as a ticket.[1] Prior to this amendment, the lieutenant governor candidate was elected separately from the governor during the same election—sometimes resulting in a governor and a lieutenant governor from different political parties.

The current lieutenant governor is Dianne Primavera, a Democrat, who took office 8 January 2019.

Notes

  1. ^ Lieutenant governors represented the same party as their governor unless noted.
  2. ^ Robinson was elected in the 1880 election, but died before taking office; the sitting lieutenant governor, Tabor, claimed the office and held it for the term.
  3. ^ a b c d e Represented the Democratic Party.
  4. ^ Breene instead ran successfully for Colorado State Treasurer.
  5. ^ a b c d e The 1904 gubernatorial election was rife with fraud and controversy. Adams and Cornforth won election, but soon after Adams took office the Republican legislature declared Peabody to be the actual winner, on the condition that Peabody immediately tender his resignation, postdated to the next day. Peabody's lieutenant governor, McDonald, then succeeded to the governorship. Cornforth, as president pro tempore of the senate, acted as lieutenant governor until the Colorado Supreme Court declared that Parks, who had been elected president pro tempore of the senate on April 3, 1905, was the rightful acting lieutenant governor.[2]
  6. ^ a b c Represented the Republican Party
  7. ^ Cooley instead ran unsuccessfully for the Republican nomination for governor.
  8. ^ Rockwell instead ran unsuccessfully for the Republican nomination for governor.
  9. ^ Allott instead ran successfully for the United States Senate.
  10. ^ Knous instead ran unsuccessfully for governor.
  11. ^ Hogan instead ran unsuccessfully for governor.
  12. ^ Schoettler instead ran unsuccessfully for governor.
  13. ^ Rogers instead ran unsuccessfully for the Republican nomination for the United States House of Representatives.
  14. ^ Garcia resigned to be President of the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education.
  15. ^ Lynne instead ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic nomination for governor.
  16. ^ Primavera's second term began on January 10, 2023, and will expire on January 12, 2027; she will be term-limited.
