Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds has appointed state Sen. Chris Cournoyer to be her lieutenant governor more than three months after the previous lieutenant governor resigned to take over the state bankers association.
Cournoyer was elected to the Iowa Senate in 2018 and has a background in technology. She has earned a computer science degree, done website design and worked for a tech company. She chaired the Education Budget Committee in the Senate and was vice chair of the State Government Committee.
Adam Gregg resigned his position Sept. 3rd after serving more than seven years. The Iowa Bankers Association that same day announced Gregg as their incoming president and CEO.
