Correct: "serves as second-in-command in the executive branch."

Explanation: the lieutenant governor is an executive-branch officer, usually first in line to succeed the governor. They do not serve in the judicial branch, and they generally do not oversee state agencies, elections, or the attorney general (those are separate offices or duties—specific powers vary by state).
