Lt. Governor Mongiardo's photostream

Lieutenant Governor Daniel Mongiardo has dedicated his life to the care of
others in both the private and public sectors. Born the son of immigrant parents
in Hazard, Kentucky, Lieutenant Governor Mongiardo studied at Transylvania
University, University of Kentucky School of Medicine and McGill University.
After completing his residency, he returned to Hazard to deliver specialized
medical and surgical treatment to local residents, as well as any others who sought
his expertise. His experiences as a doctor helped him recognize the importance
of becoming a public leader in addressing concerns that face citizens across the
Commonwealth. He successfully ran for the State Senate in 2000 and served
the counties of Bell, Harlan, Leslie and Perry until his election to the office of
Lieutenant Governor this fall. In this capacity, Dr. Mongiardo continues to fight
for the betterment of all Kentuckians and the continued improvement of our state.
