Question

Since the Governor and Lieutenant Governor of Texas are elected separately, there is the potential for a member of one political party to win one of these two offices and a member of another political party winning the other? Has this ever happened in Texas history? And if so, when did this last occur?

Answer 1

The most recent instance of a Governor and Lieutenant Governor from different political parties serving simultaneously in Texas was during the 1990s. Ann Richards, a Democrat, served as Governor of Texas from 1991 to 1995, while Republican Bob Bullock was the Lieutenant Governor from 1991 to 1999. Their tenure marked a period of bipartisan cooperation in Texas government.
