Incumbent lieutenant governor Thomas J. O'Malley received a majority of the votes (63.97%) against candidate and incumbent state administrator of the Civil Works Administration Robert C. Johnson, and was thus elected as the nominee for the general election. Despite winning the primary, O'Malley was abandoned by the state party apparatus in the general election, but went on to win re-election without their support. His victory was partially aided by the emergence of the Wisconsin Progressive Party, which caused a three-way split of the major party votes.https://search.library.wisc.edu/digital/APK3IJRHBGDIWA8L/full/A4ZJIOHJV573PX8O Primary election tables library.wisc.edu 1935 2025-11-11 Results 1934 Democratic lieutenant gubernatorial primary Thomas J.
