Iowa Lieutenant Gov. Adam Gregg resigned his position effective immediately Tuesday to take a job leading the Iowa Bankers Association, he said in a surprise announcement.
Gov. Kim Reynolds issued a statement Tuesday afternoon saying Gregg would be resigning immediately "to pursue a career opportunity that allows him to focus more on his family."
Later Tuesday afternoon, the Iowa Bankers Association announced that Gregg has been chosen as its new president and CEO.
Reynolds appointed Gregg as lieutenant governor after she assumed the governorship in 2017. He won election as her running mate in 2018 and 2022.
In a statement, Gregg, a Republican, said serving alongside Reynolds for seven years "has been a great honor."
"However, as Scripture reminds us, for everything there is a season, and there is a time to every purpose under heaven," Gregg, 41, said in the statement. "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."
I wonder what caused the quick move? Mo money, mo problems
I’m thinking he’s telling the truth, has done his part and is ready to pass the torch.
No doubt the Iowa Bankers Association knows that change is coming and they could really use his help.
Yup. Either he is full of crap or he knows what is coming and wants to help Iowa banks transfer to the new system.
Are you playing the market?
I barley have money for rent, gas and groceries.
Put $100 into AMC and don’t get out till they hit 500 per share.
I believe it will go higher than that, but I’m very confident it you’ll realize $500.
You could also go into GME but with a $100 you’ll do better with AMC and have less stress.
**These are a white hat op.
