Catherine Baker Knoll was renominated for her position as Lieutenant Governor, winning by a considerable margin.

Valerie McDonald-Roberts garnered the endorsements of the state's major newspapers and various left-leaning groups, but was unable to match Knoll in fundraising. William Hall vocally endorsed a socially conservative platform and performed well in heavily rural counties.
