Adam Gregg is the 47th and current Lieutenant Governor of Iowa. He was appointed to the position by Gov. Kim Reynolds on May 25, 2017. At the time of the appointment, Gregg was serving as the Iowa Public Defender. Prior to that, Gregg was the Republican nominee for Iowa Attorney General in the 2014 elections. Adam Gregg lost the general election on November 4, 2014.An Iowa native, Gregg attended West Sioux High School and Central College, where he studied political science and history and interned with the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Congress, and the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Gregg went on to attend Drake University School of Law as an Iowa Supreme Court Scholar. Gregg practiced law for a time at the offices of BrownWinick in Des Moines before joining the staff of Gov. Terry E. Branstad. Gregg was appointed Lieutenant Governor of Iowa by Gov. Kim Reynolds on May 25, 2017. Reynolds, the previous Lieutenant Governor, had become Governor the day before following the resignation of Terry E. Branstad to serve as U.S. Ambassador to China. Following a legal opinion by Attorney General Tom Millerstating that Reynolds would not have the ability to appoint her own lieutenant governor, Gregg was appointed in such a way that he will "'operate' the office of lieutenant governor, but not actually 'hold' that office" according to a Des Moines Register report citing Reynolds' Deputy Chief of Staff Tim Albrecht. Although Gregg holds the title and carries out the responsibilities of the office, he is excluded from the line of succession. This means that if Reynolds is unable to carry out the office of governor, the new governor will be Senate leader Jack Whitver.
