DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa Lieutenant Governor Adam Gregg is resigning his position effective immediately after serving more than seven years in office. He said Tuesday “my time in public service must come to a close.” Gov. Kim Reynolds announced the resignation, saying in a statement that the Republican is pursuing “a career opportunity that allows him to focus more on his family.” There were no details Tuesday on Gregg’s career move. Iowa law states that the governor shall appoint someone to fill the vacancy for the remainder of the term. Reynolds indicated that she will do so “later this fall.”
