Kimberly Ann "Kim" Guadagno (pronounced gwah-DAHN-yoh; born April 13, 1959) is an American politician and the first Lieutenant Governor of New Jersey, having won the 2009 and 2013 elections as the running mate of Governor Chris Christie. She is concurrently the Secretary of State of New Jersey. Guadagno is a candidate to succeed Christie in the 2017 gubernatorial election.

Kim Guadagno is a former Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York and the District of New Jersey. She was also Assistant New Jersey Attorney General. Serving as deputy chief of the U.S. Attorney's office's corruption unit from 1994–98, Guadagno was responsible for the corruption prosecutions of former Essex County Executive Thomas D'Alessio (a Democrat) and of Somerset County Prosecutor Nicholas Bissell (a Republican). In 1994, in a case involving an executive of lottery contractor GTECH Corporation, the U.S. Attorney's Office was criticized by the judge overseeing the case for the disclosure of grand jury testimony in a sentencing report; the issue was never referred for further ethical or legal investigation. The lottery executive went to jail.
