2004 U.S. Senate race

{{#invoke:Labelled list hatnote|labelledList|Main article|Main articles|Main page|Main pages}} Mongiardo ran in the 2004 U.S. Senate election to unseat incumbent first-term Senator Jim Bunning, a former Major League Baseball player. He won the primary election with 64.9 percent of the vote and made health care his top campaign priority.<ref name=CNN/><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Although early polls showed Mongiardo at a significant disadvantage against Bunning, who had more name recognition and campaign funds,<ref name=UT>Template:Cite news</ref> Mongiardo was able to make large gains, on account of several missteps committed by Bunning and other Kentucky Republicans,<ref name=CNN/> including Bunning's admission not to have read newspapers articles on the Iraq war and claims made against Mongiardo regarding his staff's violence against Bunning's wife,<ref name=CNN/> his sexual preference,<ref name=WAVE>Template:Cite news</ref> and his physical likeness to Saddam Hussein's sons, for the last of which Bunning later apologized.<ref name=CNN/> Mongiardo responded with statements about his co-sponsorship of a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage in Kentucky and his intent to vote in favor of a Federal Marriage Amendment, and he argued that Bunning was removed from the interests of families.<ref name=UT/><ref name=WAVE/> Mongiardo gained support from national Democratic organizations, but he lost the bitterly contested election, 49.3 percent to 50.7 percent.<ref name=UT/><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Mongiardo was ahead with as much as 80 percent of the returns in. However, the western portion of the state broke strongly for Bunning, providing the ultimate margin of victory.

Lt. Gov. Mongiardo greets media while campaigning for Democratic candidates in September 2008.

Former Kentucky Lieutenant Governor Steve Beshear chose Mongiardo as his running mate for the 2007 gubernatorial election in Kentucky. They won the Democratic primary election on May 22, 2007, with 41 percent of the vote against several tickets, including Bruce Lunsford and Greg Stumbo, and Steve Henry and Renee True,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and with enough votes to avoid a June runoff.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Beshear-Mongiardo were elected over incumbent Republican Governor Ernie Fletcher on November 6, 2007, winning with 58.7 percent of the state vote.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Mongiardo did not risk losing his seat in the state senate, because Kentucky holds its constitutional officer elections in odd years.

In September 2008, Mongiardo claimed that some rural voters would not support Barack Obama, because of unfamiliarity with Obama, ignorance, or race.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Mongiardo had endorsed Obama, who had supported him in the 2004 U.S. Senate election.<ref>Template:Cite news Template:Dead link</ref> Republican Kentucky State Senate President David L. Williams demanded Mongiardo apologize.<ref name=Burcham>Template:Cite news</ref> Mongiardo argued that if Williams suggested racism was not an issue, he was "out of touch."<ref name=Burcham/>

2010 U.S. Senate race

{{#invoke:Labelled list hatnote|labelledList|Main article|Main articles|Main page|Main pages}} In January 2009, Mongiardo announced that he would be running for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by incumbent Jim Bunning.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Mongiardo called for Bunning to withdraw from reelection, questioning his ability to represent the state, because of controversial statements made about the health of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Bunning's reportedly strained relationship with other Republican senators.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Bunning later announced that he would not run in 2010.<ref name="Pershing">Template:Cite news</ref> Mongiardo was narrowly defeated in the Democratic Primary by the Attorney General of Kentucky Jack Conway.<ref>[2] Template:Webarchive</ref>

Under a bill changing the selection process of candidates for Lieutenant Governor, which was proposed to the Kentucky House of Representatives, Mongiardo could seek reelection as Lieutenant Governor, even if he lost the Democratic primary to the U.S. Senate in 2010.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Governor Steve Beshear, however, privately indicated his desire to assemble his 2011 reelection team prior to the conclusion of the 2010 election cycle.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> On July 19, 2009, Beshear named Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson as his running mate in for reelection in 2011.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

On January 20, 2009, Mongiardo appeared on the Tonight Show, where he lost an inaugural trivia contest to Hooters girls.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
