The 2024 Missouri lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on November 5, 2024, to elect the lieutenant governor of Missouri, concurrently with the 2024 U.S. presidential election, as well as elections to the United States Senate, elections to the United States House of Representatives, and various other state and local elections. Incumbent Republican Lieutenant Governor Mike Kehoe did not run for reelection for a second full term, and instead ran successfully for Governor of Missouri. The filing deadline was March 26, 2024, with primaries being held on August 6.[1] Republican attorney David Wasinger and Democratic state Representative Richard Brown won their parties' respective primaries, and faced each other in the general election.[2] Wasinger defeated Brown by nearly 19 percentage points.
