- The Lieutenant Governor (Lt. Governor for short) is similar to the Vice President of the United States. If the Governor is incapacitated for any reason, the Lt. Governor takes over their powers until the Governor recovers or the term ends.
- The Lt. Governor influences which new laws get passed by using their role as the President of the State Senate. They work with advocates to introduce legislation and assist in the selection of which bills go up for debate.
- The Lt. Governor oversees debate in the State Senate, guiding the discussion of legislation and casting tie-breaking votes when necessary. 
- The Lieutenant Governor is elected every four years in midterm election years (e.g. 2022, 2026, 2030). Unlike the Governor, the Lt. Governor is not subject to term limits and can run an unlimited number of times.
