Iowa Lt. Gov. Adam Gregg Resigns for Banking Role

Iowa Lieutenant Governor Adam Gregg has resigned effective immediately to become the president and CEO of the Iowa Bankers Association, citing the need to prioritize his family as his children grow up. In his resignation letter, Gregg expressed gratitude towards Governor Kim Reynolds and reflected on the challenges faced during his time in office since 2017, including a pandemic and natural disasters. He emphasized that serving in public office prevented him from being present for his family, stating, 'there is a time to every purpose under heaven.' Governor Reynolds praised his contributions and acknowledged his dedication as a father. Political leaders from both parties expressed their appreciation for Gregg's service and commended his decision to focus on family. Reynolds plans to take her time in appointing a new lieutenant governor to fill the remainder of Gregg's term, which lasts until January 2027.
