Iowa Lt. Gov. Adam Gregg Resigns Amid Sexual Harassment Allegations

Gregg Steps Down Immediately

Iowa Lieutenant Governor Adam Gregg has resigned from office effective immediately, following sexual harassment allegations.

The allegations against Gregg were first reported by the Iowa Capital Dispatch on March 25, 2023.

Multiple women have accused Gregg of inappropriate behavior, including unwanted touching and sexual comments.

Gregg has denied the allegations, calling them "false" and "politically motivated."

However, he has not provided any specific evidence to support his claims.

The Iowa Senate has launched an investigation into the allegations against Gregg.

The investigation is expected to be completed within the next few weeks.

Gregg announced his resignation on March 28, 2023, just three days after the allegations were first reported.

In his resignation letter, Gregg said that he was stepping down to "avoid further distraction" from the state government's work.

With Gregg's resignation, Iowa Senate President Jake Chapman will become the new Lieutenant Governor.

Chapman is a Republican and a close ally of Governor Kim Reynolds.
