Chris Cournoyer was sworn in as Iowa’s new lieutenant governor Monday shortly after Gov. Kim Reynolds announced her appointment.
“She’s someone that Iowans can trust to serve as governor if I were ever unable to,” Reynolds said. “I have complete confidence in her character, her judgment and her ability.”
Cournoyer is a state senator from LeClaire and is the owner of a web design and development business. She is also an advocate for STEM education, as well as a substitute teacher and a former school board president.
