(ABC 6 News) — Iowa voters may be changing how a new Lieutenant Governor is chosen.
A proposed constitutional amendment would allow the current governor to choose the new second in command. Currently, a line of succession is in place, placing the Iowa Senate President next in line.
This comes after Lt. Gov. Adam Gregg announced he is stepping down this week to become the state’s Bankers Association’s new CEO and President.
