RSLC Statement on Republican Lieutenant Governors’ Races
Washington D.C. - Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) President Dee Duncan issued the following statement on the results of lieutenant governors’ races across the country:
“Congratulations to our incumbent Republican Lieutenant Governors, Kristen Juras in Montana and Deidre Henderson in Utah, alongside nominees Micah Beckwith in Indiana, David Wasinger in Missouri, Michelle Strinden in North Dakota, and John Rodgers in Vermont, for their critical victories across the country. Voters have realized that when the federal government fails them, it’s important to elect robust conservative leaders in the states who will back commonsense policies that will provide a better way of life. Our success would not be possible without South Carolina Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evette, Utah Lieutenant Governor Deidre Henderson, and Nevada Lieutenant Governor Stavros Anthony who serve as the chair, vice chair, and finance chair, respectively, for the Republican Lieutenant Governors Association (RLGA) caucus. With the support of the RLGA executive committee, we built off our wins in 2023 and fought back against the onslaught of national liberal spending with our strong fundraising and early and strategic investments. We look forward to our Lieutenant Governors continuing to lead and deliver strong conservative victories in their states.”
ABOUT RLGA
One of four caucuses under RSLC’s leadership, the Republican Lieutenant Governors Association (RLGA) is the only national organization dedicated to electing Republicans to the offices of lieutenant governor. Across the country, lieutenant governors serve as a state’s second-in-command, performing critical tasks such as overseeing small business recruitment, leading economic development, administering fair elections, maintaining homeland security, and managing disaster recovery. These experiences often prepare our lieutenant governors for higher office, as 10 out of 27 Republican governors previously served as lieutenant governors.
ABOUT RSLC
The Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) is the largest organization of Republican state leaders in the country and only national committee whose mission is to recruit, train, and elect Republicans to multiple down-ballot, state-level offices. Thanks to the RSLC’s growing network of grassroots supporters in all 50 states, the committee helps deliver wins for Republican state legislators, lieutenant governors, secretaries of state, agriculture officials, and state judges across the country.
