Iowa Lt. Gov. Adam Gregg, a Republican, announced his immediate resignation from his role as second-in-command in the Hawkeye State to become the CEO of the Iowa Bankers Association, which he said would allow him to focus on his family.

Gregg has served as Iowa’s lieutenant governor since 2017, when Gov. Kim Reynolds (R-IA) was elevated to the governorship after Terry Branstad resigned to become the U.S. ambassador to China. He was elected to the position in 2018 and 2022, but he is resigning before the end of his four-year term and said on Tuesday that he feels his time in public service has come to an end.
