Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds made history again by appointing Chris Cournoyer as the state’s next lieutenant governor, marking the first time in nearly 178 years that the state will be represented by women serving as governor and lieutenant governor simultaneously. Cournoyer, a former state senator and reserve sheriff’s deputy, will take over from Adam Gregg, who announced his resignation to take a position at the Iowa Bankers Association. This historic move comes as Governor Reynolds continues to break barriers, becoming the first woman to hold her position in the state in 2017. Political Director Dave Price, who has been covering local, state, and national politics in Iowa since 2001, produces and hosts “Inside Iowa Politics,” a show focused on interviews with top leaders on issues that impact the state.
