Question: Forward Records is owned by a former Lieutenant Governor of what state?
Context: Markley, A Group is the sixth and final album by the American psychedelic rock group, the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band, and was released in 1970 on Forward Records, owned by Mike Curb.  In this case, the album was released under another group name, Markley A Group, as decided by the group owner, Bob Markley.  It features compositions by Danny Harris, Michael Lloyd and Shaun Harris with lyrics by Bob Markley.  The content is simple and soft, reminiscent of the band's earlier work.  Lyrically, however, the band was continuing the trend set by "Where's My Daddy? ", in which they describe class resentment, paranoid psychedelia, and an unsettling interest in young girls.  Although Shaun Harris creates compositions for the album, he only appears on "Outside/Inside".  After this album, like those before it, failed to achieve success, the band ceased to exist. The Majority Leader of the New York State Senate is elected by the majority of the members of the New York State Senate.  The position usually coincides with the title of Temporary President of the State Senate, who presides over the session of the State Senate if the Lieutenant Governor of New York (who is ex officio President of the State Senate) is absent.  The Temporary President of the State Senate becomes Acting Lieutenant Governor for the remainder of the unexpired term in case of a vacancy in the office of lieutenant governor.  In case of a vacancy in the offices of both the governor and lieutenant governor at the same time, the Temporary President of the State Senate becomes Acting Governor.  If the double vacancy occurs until three months before the mid-term state elections, a special election for Governor of New York and Lieutenant Governor is held.  If the double vacancy occurs later, the Temporary President of the State Senate acts as governor until the end of the unexpired term.  The Temporary President of the State Senate retains both his majority leadership and his seat in the State Senate while acting as lieutenant governor or governor. The Lieutenant Governor of Illinois is the second highest executive of the State of Illinois.  In Illinois, the lieutenant governor and governor run on a joint ticket, and are directly elected by popular vote.  Candidates for lieutenant governor ran separately in the primary from candidates for governor until 2014, when the system was changed to allow the gubernatorial nominee of a party to select the nominee for lieutenant governor.  When the Governor of Illinois becomes unable to discharge the duties of that office, the lieutenant governor becomes acting governor.  If the Governor dies, resigns or is removed from office, the lieutenant governor becomes governor.  Under the Illinois Constitution, the Attorney General is next in line of succession to the Governor's office after the lieutenant governor, but does not succeed to the Lieutenant Governor's office.  From the impeachment of Rod Blagojevich in 2009 until the inauguration of Sheila Simon in 2011, Attorney General Lisa Madigan would have become Governor if Pat Quinn had vacated the office.  Historically, the lieutenant governor has been from either the Democratic Party or Republican Party.  As of January 12, 2015, the lieutenant governor is Evelyn Sanguinetti. The Lieutenant Governor is a constitutional officer of the Commonwealth of Virginia.  The Lieutenant Governor is elected every four years along with the Governor and Attorney General.  The office is currently held by Democrat Ralph Northam.  The governor and lieutenant governor are elected separately and thus may be of different political parties.  The lieutenant governor's office is located in the Oliver Hill Building on Capitol Square in Richmond, Virginia.  The lieutenant governor serves as the President of the Senate of Virginia and is first in the line of succession to the governor; in the event the governor dies, resigns, or otherwise leaves office, the lieutenant governor becomes governor.  Unlike the governor, the Lieutenant Governor of Virginia can run for re-election. The lieutenant governor is a constitutional officer of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.  The lieutenant governor is elected for a four year term in the same year as the governor.  Each party picks a candidate for lieutenant governor independently of the governors.

Stack III is the incumbent lieutenant governor.  The lieutenant governor presides in the Senate and is first in the line of succession to the governor; in the event the governor dies, resigns, or otherwise leaves office, the lieutenant governor becomes governor. Secretary of state is an official in the state governments of 47 of the 50 states of the United States, as well as Puerto Rico and other U.S. possessions.  In Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, this official is called the secretary of the commonwealth.  In states that have one, the secretary of state is the chief clerk of the state, and is often the primary custodian of important state records.  In the states of Alaska, Hawaii, and Utah, there is no Secretary of State; in those states many duties that a secretary of state might normally execute fall within the domain of the lieutenant governor.  Like the lieutenant governor, in most states the secretary of state is in the line of succession to succeed the governor, in most cases immediately behind the lieutenant governor.  In three states with no lieutenant governor (Arizona, Oregon and Wyoming) as well as the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico, the secretary of state is first in the line of succession in the event of a gubernatorial vacancy. The position of lieutenant governor of Ohio was established in 1852.  The lieutenant governor becomes governor if the governor resigns, dies in office or is removed by impeachment.  Before 1852, the president of the Ohio State Senate would serve as acting governor if a vacancy in the governorship occurred.  Until 1978, lieutenant governors were elected separately but concurrently with the governor (not on a "ticket").  Thus, there were several occasions when the lieutenant governor was from a different party than the governor.  This was changed by constitutional amendment.  In 1974, Richard F. Celeste was the last lieutenant governor to be elected separately.  In 1978, George Voinovich became the first lieutenant governor to be elected on the same ticket with the governor. The Lieutenant Governor of New York is a constitutional office in the executive branch of the Government of New York State.  It is the second highest-ranking official in state government.  The lieutenant governor is elected on a ticket with the governor for a four-year term.  Official duties dictated to the lieutenant governor under the present state constitution are to serve as President of the State Senate, serve as acting governor in the absence of the governor from the state or the disability of the governor, or to become governor in the event of the governor's death, resignation or removal from office via impeachment.  Additional statutory duties of the lieutenant governor are to serve on the New York Court for the Trial of Impeachments, the State Defense Council, and on the Board of Trustees of the College of Environmental Science and Forestry.
