Iowa Lieutenant Governor Steps Down, Citing Family

Gregg to Leave Office on July 1st

Iowa Lieutenant Governor Adam Gregg has resigned from his position, effective July 1st. Gregg, a Republican, has served as lieutenant governor since 2019.

In a statement, Gregg said he was resigning to focus on his family. "This was not an easy decision, but it is the right one for my family and me," Gregg said.

Gregg's resignation comes amid a personal scandal involving his wife, Tami Gregg. In May, Tami Gregg was charged with driving while intoxicated. The incident led to calls for Gregg to resign.

Gregg has denied any wrongdoing and has said he will continue to support his wife. "Tami is a wonderful wife and mother, and I will continue to love and support her," Gregg said.

Gregg's resignation will create a vacancy in the lieutenant governor's office. Governor Kim Reynolds will appoint a replacement to serve the remainder of Gregg's term, which ends in 2023.

Gregg's resignation is the latest in a series of high-profile departures from the Iowa Republican Party. In recent months, several Republican lawmakers have resigned or announced they will not seek re-election.
