GOP Iowa Lt Gov Abruptly Quits To “Focus On Family”

Via press release from GOP Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds:

Gov. Kim Reynolds today announced that Lt. Governor Adam Gregg is stepping down from his position to pursue a career opportunity that allows him to focus more on his family.

“It has been a great honor to serve alongside Governor Reynolds for seven years. I have enormous respect for her and her leadership, and she will always be one of the most important mentors in my life. I don’t have the words to express the profound gratitude I feel toward Governor Reynolds,” Lt. Governor Adam Gregg stated.

“However, as Scripture reminds us, for everything there is a season, and there is a time to every purpose under heaven. I feel my time in public service must come to a close. This season of my life needs to be focused on my family. My kids are growing up too fast, and statewide elected offices force me to miss more of their lives than I can accept. While difficult, the decision to resign from this role allows me to honor my most important commitment – my family.”

Resignation is effective immediately. The press release doesn’t say so, but some X accounts are saying that he’s taken a job as CEO of a state banking group.
