(Radio Iowa) – We could find out who will be the new lieutenant governor sometime next month. Governor Kim Reynolds was asked Tuesday about her decision to replace Adam Gregg who left in September. “Soon, really soon. So it in the next couple of weeks, probably we’ll have a decision,” Reynolds says. Reynolds has been busy with the fall campaign, the Republican Governors Association, and a trade trip to India. “So it’s just been a crazy timeline, but, and we want to do it right and so, but we’re really close,” she says. Reynolds says she has completed all of the interviews of candidates for the job.

“You know, I’m not going to give you the number that we’ve interviewed, but we’ve talked to several people,” Reynolds says. Gregg resigned as lieutenant governor to take over as the leader of the Iowa Bankers Association. The president of the Iowa Senate is next in line of succession until a new lieutenant governor is named by Reynolds.
