List of lieutenant governors of Iowa, US
This is a list of lieutenant governors of the U.S. state of Iowa . The state constitution describes the responsibilities of the position: "The lieutenant governor shall have the duties provided by law and those duties of the governor assigned to the lieutenant governor by the governor."[ 1] [ 2]
Prior to 1990, the governor and lieutenant governor were elected in separate elections; since then they have run together on the same ticket.[ 3]
