Notes
change- ↑ Lieutenant governors have all represented the same party as their governor.
- ↑ Hickel resigned and Miller succeeded him; as commissioner of administration, Ward succeeded Miller.
- ↑ Palin resigned and Parnell succeeded her.[4] Joe Schmidt, commissioner of the Department of Corrections and Palin's designated replacement for Parnell, refused the position. Campbell was appointed as "Temporary Substitute Lieutenant Governor" on July 26, 2009, and was confirmed by the Alaska Legislature August 10, 2009.[5]
- ↑ Mallott resigned, citing inappropriate comments he had made to a woman; Davidson, Commissioner of the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services, was appointed to succeed him.[6]
- ↑ Dahlstrom's first term expires on December 7, 2026.
