Lieutenant Governor of Louisiana
The Office of Lieutenant Governor of Louisiana is the second highest state office in Louisiana. The current lieutenant governor is Jay Dardenne, a Republican. He was elected in a special election on November 2, 2010 to replace Mitch Landrieu, who was elected to the office of Mayor of New Orleans on February 6, 2010 and resigned as lieutenant governor to assume the mayoral office on May 3, 2010. As prescribed in the Louisiana Constitution, Governor Bobby Jindal had appointed Scott Angelle to serve as the interim lieutenant governor until the special election could be held.
Paul J. Hardy, who served from 1988 to 1992, was the first Republican in the position after the Reconstruction Era.
==History==
The office was established by the Louisiana Constitution of 1845. Prior to that, the successor to the governor in the event of his death or resignation was the President of the Louisiana State Senate.〔Louisiana State Constitution of 1812 Article III Sect. 17th. and Louisiana State Constitution of 1845 Art. 45〕〔(Louisiana. ''Report of the Secretary of State to His Excellency W.W. Heard, Governor of the State of Louisiana. May 12th, 1902.'' [Baton Rouge]: Baton Rouge news Pub. Co., State printers, 1902. ) p 325〕 A number of state senate presidents succeeded governors before the 1845 Constitution was adopted, including Henry S. Thibodaux, Armand Beauvais and Jacques Dupre.
The lieutenant governor presided over the Louisiana Senate from 1845 until the adoption of the Louisiana Constitution of 1974. Today, the lieutenant governor exercises powers delegated to him or her by the governor as provided by law. She or he also serves as governor in the event of a vacancy in the office, if the governor is unable to act as governor, or is out of state. Under the constitution, the lieutenant governor no longer serves as ex officio president of the senate, but is made an ex officio member of each committee, board and commission on which the governor serves. (Louisiana Constitution Article IV, Section 6) Additionally, the lieutenant governor serves as commissioner of the Louisiana Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism.
