The Wisconsin Lieutenant Governor is a constitutional officer of the state of Wisconsin. The lieutenant governor is first in succession should the incumbent governor die, resign, or be removed from office. If the lieutenant governor becomes governor, he or she is required to nominate a new lieutenant governor. However, the successor must be confirmed by the Senate and the Assembly.
There is no limit to the number of terms a lieutenant governor may hold. However, the lieutenant governor can be removed from office through an impeachment trial or resignation.
Should the governor designate the lieutenant governor to a board or commission the lieutenant governor is given all the authority and responsibility granted by law to the governor.
The current officeholder is Barbara Lawton.
