Brad Dye (born December 20, 1933) is a retired American politician who served three 4-year terms as 27th Lieutenant Governor of Mississippi from 1980 until 1992. He is the only individual in state history to serve as lieutenant governor for 12 consecutive years.[1] Prior to that he served in both the Mississippi House of Representatives[2] and the Mississippi Senate [1] and served as Mississippi state Treasurer.[3] He is a member of the Democratic Party.
In 1986 a commission studying the state's constitution affirmed Dye's perspective on the powers of the lieutenant governor's office.[4]
In September 2010 he was presented with the Mississippi Medal of Service by Governor Haley Barbour.[1]
Dye was born in Charleston, Mississippi. He holds a bachelor's degree in business administration (1957) and a law degree (1959) from the University of Mississippi.[3]
