Lieutenant Governor of South Dakota

Lieutenant Governor of South Dakota

The Lieutenant Governor of South Dakota is the second-ranking member of the executive branch of South Dakota state government, and also serves as presiding officer of the South Dakota State Senate. The lieutenant governor succeeds to the officer of governor if the office becomes vacant, and may also serve as acting governor if the governor is incapacited or absent from the state.

The current lieutenant governor is Dennis Daugaard.

The lieutenant governor is elected on a ticket with the governor. Six lieutenant governors have gone on to be elected governor in their own right: Charles N. Herreid, Frank M. Byrne, Peter Norbeck, William H. McMaster, Carl Gunderson, and Nils Boe. Two others, Harvey L. Wollman and Walter Dale Miller, succeeded to the office of governor when it became vacant, but neither successfully won reelection.

Carole Hillard became the first woman to serve as lieutenant governor when she was elected in 1994.
