Lieutenant Governor Adam Gregg has decided to step down, citing family reasons.
In a written statement, Gregg said his kids are growing up too fast and statewide office forces him to miss more of their lives than he can accept — so his time in public service must come to a close. Gregg, a lawyer who grew up in Hawarden, was the Republican Party’s nominee for attorney general in 2014. He served as the state’s public defender for the next three years.
After Terry Branstad resigned as governor in 2017, Gregg was tabbed as Lieutenant Governor by current Governor Kim Reynolds.
Gregg will be the new president and CEO of the Iowa Bankers Association. He will step into the role on October 1.
